Engineering to WS with no internships
I realize how unlikely this probably is, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. I'm an engineering major (not EE or CS) at a top engineering school but generally a semi-target for finance/consulting firms. I've done very well academically (3.9+ GPA) and have good ECs, so as you can imagine, that took a small toll on my social life. Don't have any internships in industry, though.
I'm taking a gap year to apply to med school, and while I can do a boring gap year job like research at a university or something, it'd be great to experience industry, specifically finance and consulting. I previously had a intern/externship (not a summer internship) at a major quant hedge fund (Two Sigma, DE Shaw, Citadel, Jane Street) that exposed me to a lot of finance and I thought the pace and content was pretty exciting. Is there any chance I might be able to land a full time position or internship at a mid-high level bank or consulting firm if I am applying now (spring cycle) if I'm a graduating senior? I know most firms generally wrap up during the fall, but I had other priorities I had to focus on.
I know how unlikely it is to get a position like what I'm asking for but I had a friend that got an analyst position at BB with no relevant experience whatsoever (same major and everything), so that inspired me to make this post.
While at this point most of the major banks and shops are not offering internships anymore, sometimes there are roles that come out later. Check their websites to see if they are offering in the next few months. Also check through your school's career office.
