Non-target junior in dire situation!!
I'm a junior at a non-target in south florida I have an average g.p.a, I haven't interned anywhere yet and my major is accounting. I was hoping to find some boutique p/e firm to intern for the summer, is that possible or is there no hope for me?
So you come from a no name school, live thousands of miles away from any financial center, with a crap gpa, 0 work experience and you realize now you need an internship. You reap what you sow. As a consolation enjoy your free healthcare upon graduating that I'll be subsidizing.
You do realize it's almost July right?
Get off the Bud Light and vodka shots and start doing an unpaid slave labor job. Your only hope.
check out hig, suncap, hydepark, Brockway Moran, cnl, Raymond James, sun trust-robinson humphrey, cassel salpeter, Cross Keys Capital, Heritage Capital, Allen C. Ewing, and whatever you find on google. your best bet will be a one-man show, maybe an upscale accounting firm that specializes in m&a etc. there are plenty of these 'consultants' around. also check transaction advisory firms or law firms like folely lardner, akerman senterfit, grant thornton, etc. where most attorneys are cpa's. you'll find something but better haul ass.
Thank you guys for the advice. I went to a community college then transferred to a university after 2 years. I started my junior year this summer and I didn't have much hope of getting anything, but I thought i'd ask. If anything i'll try next summer and if it doesn't work out ill get my accounting degree an go for c.p.a. Thank you again you guys respond fast!
p.s destin149 I go to FAU not the best school but it's alright
You're a little late to the party pal, as such there is little to no hope to get one now especially with no work experience. Also, the fact that you have an "average" GPA and are at what sounds like a non-target probably doesn't help much either and you should try for some smaller game stuff before you try to get into a PE firm with no internship experience at the end of June lol.
Yes i agree lol i'll do what I can
fellow non-target here, I might be able to help you out. sent you a pm
start thinking about msf programs
Have you seen his stats. Getting an SA position is out of the question. FT recruiting has sucked for the past 4 years but putting yourself 40k in the hole with little potential upside is worse.
Summer internships are not the only internships out there. Look into doing some internships on top of classes when you go back to school. I'm sure there are companies near your school that would be willing to take you on for free if you pitch yourself right. I did internships during the last two semesters and they have been helpful. Even if it's PWM or interning for a small, local accounting firm, it'll fill your resume up better than the white space that it probably has right now.
