Made it in from a non-target boys

It was about a 1.5-2 year process. Went from a big public finance non target studying engineering, transferred mid covid to a solid semi-target and pivoted completely. Had a non-related corp fin internship abroad, and a couple of other boutique/unpaid research and IB internships after hundreds upon hundred of cold emails and rejections. Went through full time recruiting and ended up with many rejections, a few superdays, and a single offer at a firm I could not be happier with, in the group I wanted, in the city I wanted, with above street pay. Lets go!!
