Investment Banking Internship Advice

Hello everyone.

This is my first post, and I wanted to ask for some advice since I am looking forward to start my carreer in IB; I come from Management Engineering with a MSc in Finance in one of the best universities in Italy (for what it is worth).

I am now graduating, I have high GPA and international mobility on my CV, but no past working experience.

(I am also starting the technical interview course since I feel like I am still missing some important knowledge and I have a lot to learn.)

This website has been very helpful, I learned a lot here, but I wanted to know if you have any advice for my situation. I never made an internship before and I will probably have to start it in April 2022 (due to my thesis). Any IB company that could give me a chance? I do not care about salary at the moment, I want to learn as much as possible and prioritize carreer growth.

Thank you in advance.
