lateral VS MSF
Junior, has internship offers for a credit lending fund and a no-name boutique in NYC. have a 2ish GPA. Had undiagnosed ADHD, anxiety, depression, and dyslexia. eventually, teachers encouraged me to get tested, I got meds this term, and have a straight A but still don't see much difference in my overall GPA at graduation, its gonna be better for sure based on how I am going but not 3.3+ also was overall average throughout academic life. honesty surprised made it this far
so have 4 options, after thinking about it:
-
take the internship and hope they offer me FT at either place(neither cared about GPA when i interviewed)
-
do an MSF, for which I don't have the money but could take a loan but also don't think there will be a lot of good programs I can get into with my GPA
-
Getting another job in fin service OR RE dev, won't be great but don't think it would be impossible to get something locally in the state. My school is well-known in the south
-
BS my way through FT recruiting, apply to all and any IBs in NYC and the East coast and south, already have a list of like 150+ LMM and regional IBs, network like hell and drop GPA from my resume, and hope I get a spot. This is also where my other concern is-if I get into an LMM in NYC, Charlotte, Atlanta, or anywhere. Do you think realistically I have a decent chance to lateral to BBs or MMs in tier 1 cities(hopefully eventually PE or VC)? and does GPA matter less once I have been in the industry for a year?
or basically what do I do? I know I want a career in IB and can't undo the past, considered faking the GPA but not worth the risk
