Deciding what career to choose
I’m currently in my 3rd year in college majoring in math. I’m 90% done with my core content in math. Took some finance classes and got a minor in CS. Thinking about going into IB or quant, any skills or advice I should know before applying for an internship?
What are the must have skills for IB or quant? Where to apply for internship? It seems like I have no chance since I’m not from an Ivy school.
I don’t even know what to do with my degree at this point. I’m so lost, but I love finance and stocks
