Where do you go?

I'm a graduating senior at a top 45 school (non target) studying economics. I live in Washington, but I'm more than willing to move once I graduate in August.

Currently, I am interning at a boutique wealth manager, am a CFA level 1 candidate, have passed my series 65 (i know its not a big deal but everything helps right?) and am the founder/CEO of an investment club.

Does anyone have any ideas with regards to what else I can do? I'm applying to IB/WM/general equity and market analyst jobs all across the nation. Can I do anything else to get an extra edge?

CFA Level 1 is pretty low-hanging fruit so I would take that off of your resume if you have it. Depending on how far you are, I would also major in accounting or finance, or at least a language. Maybe start a weekly volunteer thing. Anything so that you aren't just a dry candidate or number.
