Finance internship (Preferably banking)
So I am a junior at a top 30 liberal arts college (us news), and a top 20 schools by forbes ranking. I am an unddecided pre-med. I have plently of medical shadowing, research(1 publication hopefully by the end of this summer), hundreds of hours of volunteering. Varsity athlte. I also have some work experience teaching my sport. Ran the camp at my country club for a few summers. Made some good money. But i want to try banking just because I have been torn between medicine and banking for the longest time. I like the draw of being a doctor. But i also love finance, following markets, etc. Is there any way I can get any sort of experience in this field. I want to work in finance for 1 summer at least so i can experience both professions. Or maybe I will see it is what i truly like. I am willing to work for free although money is better.
I still have about a year till next summer but I am asking you guys for help to find experience. any suggestions?
What have you done so far to find an internship? Are there banks that have info sessions, recruit or interview on campus? If so, start going to as many of them and talk to whoever will talk to you about it.
This should go without saying, but for the sake of finding an internship, finance is your only desired career path. It's fine to be stuck between to but mentioning this to recruiters will ensure that neither will happen.
Also, find alums who used to go to your school and start calling them.
Also, keep track of everyone you've called, what you to talked to them about and what they said. You DO NOT want to ask the same person something twice.
Join the random finance clubs at your school to show interest. Do a couple paper portfolio competitions
Try to land anything finance related, PWM has pretty easier entry barriers
not sure if pwn is that interesting to me. It is mainly just stock picking. Although I like stock picking it does not seem as interesting a future interacting with clients, raising capital, etc
