I have some questions about what I should do with my remaining time at college. I am currently in my senior year of college and I am having some serious trouble finding a job. I go to a non-target school and have a 3.6 GPA and have 1 sort of related internship experience, but have decent leadership and extracurricular activities. I have networked extensively, but it still seems to me like I am missing something to get into the field that I am dreaming of (preferably ER, but at this point kind of anything). I have decent leadership at school and have even created an investment club and fund with students at my school that has outperformed all 3 major indices for the past 6 months and I am currently in the process of publishing an Equity research report on a pharmaceutical company. I was able to secure myself a decent internship over the summer but I was dealing mainly with the regulatory aspect of the financial markets. I worked for a trade association where I worked on policy and regulation issues within the capital markets but was still able to get my feet wet in research by performing an extensive analysis of the energy sector towards the end of the internship. I am trying to understand what I should do with my life and here are my options: 1) Study for the CFA Level 1 exam and take it right out of college and pray that it will be enough for me to get my dream job offer or at least get me a decent job and then try and network internally and move up the ladder. 2) Since it is too late now to apply for a master's program for this year, I hold off and study for GMAT or GRE this summer and try and get into a top program and start by 2022. 3) Look for an internship for this summer as a senior (is that even a thing) in a different but related field?
Even if you took the CFA exam this summer, you don't get the results until 2022. And passing L1 isn't a huge game changer.
Just keep plugging away at finding an ER gig for the moment if that's what you want.
I’m still in undergrad but you still have alot of time until you graduate. Spend 30mins/1hr a day applying and networking to open your opportunities.
