Need some advice
Currently have a plan to go to a 2 year college and then transfer into either texas AnM or UT austin. The problem is I don't know if I can get an internship my 2nd year because I would still be at the 2 year college. Is it OK to take an internship in your Jr year? Or does having one under your belt right after freshman year make a big difference? I would aim to transfer into UT austin and then search for an internship. All suggestions appreciated.
Earlier the better. I did one at a wealth management shop after my freshman year. It's definitely doable, they're always looking for admin help. IB kids all have internships before their summer analyst stint, so I'd say you should look to get one to stay competitive
When do they usually go for the SA stint? After college?
Recruiting for SA generally happens the spring of sophomore year/summer going into junior year for an internship after you complete your junior year.
I see, so I don't have much of a chance unless I go straight to a semi-target 4 year, because I'll miss the internship opportunities. I was hoping to do the 2 years then transfer (plus I'm pretty sure getting good grades would be much easier at a 2 year).
I would try to transfer after one year if you can't get in for your freshman year. Also consider the school you choose to attend. UT and Texas A&M tend to place in Houston more so than NY
Thank you for the advice. I was hoping to be able to work in the Texas area because of family and friends. God knows if I ever land a position I won't ever see them lol.
You could also do 2 years at college and then transfer for another 5 semesters (2.5 years) that way you are sort of coming in as a sophomore. I would still try and get something for at least one of your summer at college even if the first summer is a regular summer job and the second summer is at a regional shop, just so you have stuff to put and talk about on your resume
only do one year at CC, max. I did this and transferred to a non target state school and now work in IB. 2 years in CC will almost certainly force you to delay graduation a year because of accelerated recruiting.
