Help! Any chance of getting a junior BB internship?! - Rising junior at target

Hi, I'm a rising junior attending one of the target schools. I want to ask any kind of advice and opinions on the possibility of getting a junior internship at BB.

target school/gpa is 3.55/ econ major (concentratioon in finance/commerce)/ no prior finance internship but has been working as an analyst for my school's student run investment fund/ this summer got an offer from a small investment management/Asset Management firm in Hong Kong

I'm still in search of boutique or small regional IB firms for a summer internship. Do you think it is necessary? Should I still look for a better internship at this time, or just go with the hong kong am firm?

Do you think I have any chance of getting an IB or S&T junior internship at BB? Any advice please?

1) Should I still look for a better internship at this time, or just go with the hong kong am firm?

2) Do you think I have any chance of getting an IB or S&T junior internship at BB?

1) Not unless you really don't want to be in AM or Hong Kong.

2) For this summer? No. If you're really set on IB or S&T and don't want to take your current internship offer, then cold-call boutiques and prop shops -- they're your only hope.

Best of luck

 

Thanks yourdreamtheater for your comment! Actually I meant the intership for my junior summer, for the next summer. Any thoughts please?

 

Do the AM offer this summer. Is your school near a major city? If so, once your summer internship is over, cold-call local boutique banks and offer to work for free in the fall/spring. A lot of people do this for the summer, but very few for the fall, so it's far easier.

If you're not near any major cities at your school, just do a ton of networking and make sure to take a long weekend visit to NYC (once you have a lot of contacts) to meet up with people in person and you should be fine getting interviews.

 

Thanks! I got an offer from a boutique IB bank in new york yesterday. Do you think I should take the boutique IB internship instead of AM Hong Kong? The thing is I'm not sure if I will do a lot of "substantial" IB works at the IB firm.
