Sounds like a great opportunity, but don’t limit yourself to certain banks while recruiting for your sophomore summer. Treat the process as you would for a junior internship (cast your net far and wide - many BB have sophomore programs). However I agree that you should enjoy your summer, and relieve some anxiety by remembering it’s a practice run that will better prepare you for landing whatever junior internship you want (or possibly land you where you want even sooner).

 

Thank you. Wall Street oasis and other sites have courses for pretty much everything finance. So I did an excel course and I am currently doing a financial modeling one. I met the managing director playing tennis in high school and built a relationship from there. Didn’t realize what I was doing at the time but it worked out I guess lol. But what I would recommend doing is cold emailing local boutiques and other smaller financial companies in your area. Also look on internship websites for anything else.
