Firms I should be looking at as a 3.3 non/semi-target African intl student?
I am an international student from the Horn of Africa, majoring in Economics and Polit. Science at good but non-target/semi-target Liberal Arts college in PA. I am a junior and I have a 3.3 - primarily due to terrible freshman year. Sophomore year GPA and major GPA both 3.6. I was unable to intern at any financial firms last summer (as a Soph)
I'm trying to get an internship doing S&T or Global Capital Markets at a firm that has a strong (or at least some) presence in Africa, (the Horn, North and East in particular). I feel that I can try to leverage my background to appear as a strong candidate for such a firm. Apart from the obvious large banks, Deutsche, Credit Suisse, JPM.. what other firms should I be looking at?
I know my chances are bleak so I'm open to Operations and Risk as well..
SEO or ML4T
Somehow I doubt you can get into SEO with a 3.3 from an unknown school.
I had a 3.3 from a non-target and worked for a Top MM my junior summer, took a BB IBD offer full time, and then lateralled to an elite boutique. Networking is your friend
SEO is pretty competitive, you can try it out though.
Try cold calling or cold emailing the banks you'd like to work for, MM's or BB's, it never hurts.
HSBC, Standard Chartered, Macquarie
