Screwed up- Need advice
Hi guys,
I'm an undergrad (finance-rising senior) at Fordham university, and with graduation looming closer I need some serious career advice. I have a decent GPA 3.4 overall, major GPA 3.7, but I seriously screwed up with my junior summer internship. Freshman year I worked for a stock brokerage firm, and sophomore year I managed to secure an ok wealth management internship (a lot of cold calling but at least put in the hours for a better finance internship (was hoping for investment banking). While I may have been able to accomplish that, certain family complications this year forced me into taking an internship (finance/accounting at a large food distribution company) where 1 business trip back home was included, as well as a ticket home for the summer. I'm now worried that I will be forced to work in PWM (and not even that is really a given at this point). While my modeling experience is basically nonexistent, I am a really quick learner (although good luck selling that in an interview). I'm networking hard right now and trying to get some kind of part-time analyst position during the school year to save face but have not seen any real results thus far. Any nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Try for full time and internship. If your internship is better than your full time, then delay graduation or do a 1 year masters. And of course continue networking.
