Best Internships for Resume-Building

Hi WSO, I’m currently a junior and am trying to break into IB. I am trying to get a summer analyst internship this summer. If I’m unable to, which other internships would you recommend? Thanks!

If you’re currently a junior, then most banks wrapped up IB internship recruiting a longgg time ago.

If I were you and IB is genuinely your end goal I would try and get an internship at a boutique (network and cold email your ass off) or I would try and see if any banks have open spots in other roles (non IB) and try to use your internship to leverage or FT
