What do I reply now?

Not sure if serious or not.

ll you don't "badly need" this. Take the banking and then go to buy side. Not hard.

I just graduated high school but from what I've heard going to the buy side right out of undergrad isn't very plausible unless you get lucky networking or are just top of your class at a top target school.

Perhaps you should consider how busy the CEO is and reevaluate your request.

Kind of like a HS buddy of mine chasing a golf coach. Response " If I don't already know who you are, you have no chance" or something similar.

The guy doesn't have time to eval your fit bu perusing your resume.

The response to your third message may have got him at a week moment.

Who know maybe he did forward it to someone..

But, ask him for something that takes him 20 seconds, and provides you with knowledge that he has done something.

just sayin..

I'd give this troll 3.5/10. Too obvious, but still somewhat amusing.

Hell you're lucky he took the time to read and respond. I would have deleted a long winded and rambling message like that.

I am pretty sure this person is a troll because there is no way someone can get a BB internship with his/her writing. If this is not a troll, then work on shortening/improving your email.
