What do you mean by this? A big deal in what sense? In terms of getting a job? Yes having an internship is incredibly important to getting a job in an extremely competitive field such as finance.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
