When recruiting began, I thought I could secure an IB internship at a big firm, made superdays etc. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be as a non-business major.
Now I'm desperate, will settle for anything. What are some firms that are not as difficult to get into? At this point I will take anything.

its still pretty early. i know people looking for full time work who are getting banking jobs now..
too early to call it "desperation mode"
Yea, I would relax you still have time. Try reaching out to boutiques through your alumni network, or just cold emailing them and trying to set up informational interviews, which could lead to real interviews, and then study like hell and rock the interviews, and get yourself a job. A lot of boutiques are probably just starting to look for SA's.
Do boutiques have the different recruiting schedule from most BBs or elite shops? I mean, since most boutiques do not have a "fixed SA recruiting process", I was wondering whether it is still realistic to apply for boutiques across different regions. Some boutiques that I'm interested in started to recieve resume from last September...
What are you currently studying?
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
how does one go about finding these no-name boutiques? my career network doesnt really distinguish between investment banking and other unrelated financial jobs such as financial advising
