IB Freshman Summer Internship

I’m a hungry, motivated freshman majoring in Finance and Business Admin at a competitive liberal arts college in MA. I’m determined in pursuing a summer internship in IB, PE, or VC and I know that at this stage it will be difficult to find a company hiring first-years. I am eager to develop my technicals this summer, and I am ready for the long hours, but eager for the sophisticated IB experience. I can send my resume, as well as my cover letter if anyone is interested. I am also happy to connect via LinkedIn and hop on a call to chat more about potential opportunities.

--Any other motivated first-year IB/PE/VC college students feel free to reach out to me so we can connect on LinkedIn

Imagine you’re an analyst and this is what a student emails you. This is cringe.

 

Lol I know this isn’t an email but what you’re saying is cringe. I’m saying imagine someone talked like this. This is just marketing LinkedIn type bs saying you’re hungry and motivated. Yeah so is everyone. You’re not special. No one talks like this so it’s kinda cringe.

 

I'd recommend interning at a searchfund your first year to build relevant experience. Also don't talk all pretentiously because it's cringe as fuck. Just be concise and straight to your point. Best of luck
