No Summer Intership..Plan B?

Hello everyone,

I know It is still pretty early and boutiques are still going after interns for the next couple months but given you cannot secure an internship what could you do as a good plan B? With exception to study abroad because I have plans for that in the fall.

Here's an article I put out on this very topic to help students find a good internship outside of IB when their SA IB prospects fall short - No SA IB Offer, What Next?

Also, as another poster mentioned, it is still really early - hit the boutiques, search the websites and career center and prepare. Good luck
