Senior with no experience, where can I go from here?
I'm currently a senior at UIUC graduating in December. I'm studying quantitative economics and I have a 3.6 GPA (up from 2.9 after freshman year, thank god). I've had jobs in the past, but unfortunately no relevant finance experience at all as it's something I realized I wanted to do pretty recently. Other than frantically applying for fall internships is there anything else I could be doing to make my odds of landing a decent job after graduating go from impossible to slightly less impossible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m in the same boat
How are you approaching the situation?
networking my ass off
Yeah seems like the only way at this point. I'm a dumbass for not trying harder to get internships. Basically just fucked at this point
Same boat, had opportunities that were ruined due to corona. Many schools have pushed back their application deadlines and waived testing reqs so I'm looking into a Masters of Finance.
What schools are you looking at? And did you already graduate?
Already graduated... looking at where I got my Bachelor's degree only - we get half off on masters if we went there for undergrad. Top 10 University but not a top 10 business school so this is just a worst case option personally.
you could consider adding a semester which would essentially make you a rising junior. great way to get more work experience so long as money isn’t an issue!
