In Need of Advice. Ready to put in the Work!
Hi Everyone,
I am somewhat new to this forum and am new to recruiting. Even though I did my research, read old forums, I would love to read different opinions on what I should do starting now in my unique situation and get off WSO and get to work.
Here is my story; I was a highschool fuck up who cared more about social status and not grades. I got into easy state schools, but ended up going to a community college due to financial reasons and majored in business administration. My first year of cc went terrible due to a deep depression, resulting in me obtaining a 2.13 GPA my first year. During that summer, I got my shit together. I retook classes I received a C in and started receiving mental help. During my second year, I worked at a few retail and operational positions and found my love and passion for finance and economics. I finished my time at CC with a 3.45 GPA and received a full-ride scholarship to transfer to a top-state school (non-target like Baruch) where I am double majoring in finance and economics, have a 3.75 GPA, and will be graduating in May 2023. After carefully researching career paths and doing my research, I decided I want to pursue investment banking.
I had a research internship lined up for last summer, but it was canceled due to covid, so I did a few educational certificate programs in excel, python, and Bloomberg for that summer. I have 0 internships under my belt, and even though I have applied to a shit load for this summer, I have either don't hear back or get rejected. I understand how essential it is to have an internship the summer before applying to IB SA roles and am willing to do paid or unpaid positions.
So far, I have found a few older versions of interview guides online from biws and wsp to start studying and am teaching myself how to build a model from scratch.
What do you all suggest I do now in terms of networking, interview prep, unpaid/paid internship for this upcoming summer to better my chances of landing a SA role for 2022 and ultimately a FT analyst role.
Thanks!
