Interested in IB or CF - Need Advice

Hello,

I need some advice for my career. I recently graduated and I am currently working a job that I am desperately trying to get out of. I have been interested in investment banking and corporate finance for some time and was wondering if I could get some advice.

Attended non-target school (top 40 business) Dual Degree: Business and Management w/ concentration in Finance Economics 3.5 GPA Graduated May 2019

Apart of my schools investment fund Treasurer and Vice President of my fraternity (do these even matter at this point?) Varsity Athlete

Didn't do any Finance related internships, but did an online program.

I am just looking for some general advice that could aid me in trying to get a job in IB or Corporate Finance. I am specifically looking at these two questions: 1. Where are some places I can apply? I am looking to try to live in NYC, Boston, or Houston 2. What are some things I can do to improve my resume? What programs are out there that could help me?

Many Thanks!
