lol
well if you're really desperate, i would look into local branches of fidelity or something in your hometown i think they generally would be more forgiving of you only being a high schooler merrill lynch probably isn't going to take you
financial analyst* merrill lynch* (merrill lynch doesn't really exist anymore, it largely goes by bank of america now)
Your time is better spent doing almost anything else.
I would like to know why you would like to be an investment banker or financial annalist.
1) You should be banned just so you're forced to go outside
2) Local PWM office is your best bet
I hear that Renaissance is looking for annalists
Good timing. I know a headhunter in your area that's actually looking for an intern.
E-mail him at [email protected]
hahh
annalist. I laughed.
Colt is bringing annalist back into relevancy.
hahahaha, great stuff here.
Maybe just walk into your local Merrill and Lynch and ask the guy behind the counter if you can help out.
Did you honestly upload a picture of yourself onto your WSO account? You must be a troll...
Also: only in Hell does working pro bono at a Wall Street firm count as 'volunteering'; that term's usually reserved for doing things of altruistic benefit to society.
I would first focus on getting admitted to a good college.
The best way to get into ibanking is to go to a target school. The best way to go to a target school is to get good grades. No need to intern now. Wait till you're in college.
Get strait A's and above a 2300 on your SAT. That's what it takes to get into ibanking and that is what a high school student should focus on.
He's a senior, too late to pull straight A's. I'd say he should now focus on learning to spell.
Disagree with the others. If you can pull off a decent internship in PWM over the summer, it will make getting an internship after freshman year infinitely easier, and so on. Go for it.
