Am I completely screwed?

I am currently going into my junior year at a decent IB recruiting school. I went through IB recruiting over the last semester and am almost through summer still without an offer. My question is, am I completely screwed for a decent finance internship? Ideally I would do REIB, but of course would take any IB internship at this point. Any tips would be appreciated.

In the same boat. Don’t feel too bad because a lot of targets didn’t place well this cycle. Keep grinding and it’ll pay off. There are still decent banks out there that are still recruiting.

 

I'm in a similar position as you. I go to a complete nontarget and from what I've seen and heard, the macroeconomic climate has screwed the class of 2025. Just keep grinding and it will pay off in the end. Personally, at this point, I'm just trying to find an internship in anything at a solid bank and then recruit for FT positions the following summer.
