I need an Internship

I applied to 100s of Internships across multiple industries. None are interested.

I’m going for an MBA while working a tough real estate job that isn’t bearing any fruit; I’m in charge of breaking into a new market. Additionally, I’m doing some online programs and I’m trying to teach myself how to code (I know, probably doesn’t mean anything to employers).

I networked, even had some positive interactions but when I reach out, I get no response.

Would love some suggestions. I’m looking for a banking or start-up internship (strategic management kind of thing). And if anything else comes to mind, please lmk.

I hate to sound desperate, but I’m on here to gain some valuable insight from y’all.

On a serious note, since no one's responding. You've gotta keep pushing. You're story isn't done being told. Something will come up. Pick up the phone and start dialing. Crack those knuckles and start emailing. It's a numbers game. Welcome to finance.
