Screwed for the summer = screwed for fulltime?
We all know it's been a tough year. And no one really knows what the job market will be in September. I currently have nothing for the summer, and after being dinged by oh so many places I'm starting to worry. My question is: If i end up working at a no name firm or a research job at my school (NYC target) is it nearly impossible to get onto a BB trading desk full time?
its def tough but try to put something on your resume thatll catch a recruiters eye, network, and keep a super high gpa and its doable
network your ass off

im in the same boat as you, i had one superday and im on hold... im most likely gonna get dinged as well... id say take whatever you can get, i think i'm going to take a BB regional internship unpaid part time and go caddy at the golf course on weekends to make bills... we are in a tough spot and id say networking is def key...
Network like there's no tomorrow, and see if there is anything you can leverage among family/friends. Try to get any type of I-banking experience on the resume. If this isn't a possibility, try to get something finance-related (trading desk, mutual fund, valuation arm of a Big 4) to establish your interest in finance when you recruit in the fall.
I think you can still achieve your goal of working at a BB. Obviously, there are quite a few factors that have to work in your favor if this is to happen. Like the posters above have mentioned, network your ass off. Try to land some kind of internship in either banking, finance, or mgmt consulting. A branded firm is ideal, however seeing where we are in the recruiting process highly unlikely.
Name isn't the most important thing about an internship, its the experience you gain from it and how you are able to sell that to prospective firms both on your resume and in interviews. I speak from experience when I tell you this, this past summer I worked in mgmt consulting in a small consulting practice and during the fall I was able to leverage my experience there and prior internships to gaining super day invites with a BB, and offers from several MM banks.
Good luck in attaining your goal.
