Nice... How did you prepare for the interviews? Was it obvious at a certain point of your internship that they liked you and you had a good shot at getting a ft offer? If so, when/what did you do?

Congrats. Nicely done.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Congrats. Unfortunately you have been assigned to the tennis M&A desk.

congrats bro do let us know how you networked, did you know someone personally at the firm? did they come to your school? or did you bust your balls through cold calling?

Best advice I can give is be persistent. Rejection sucks, but its the only way to get your foot in the door.

Utilize your career services department. If you are doing it right, you will outstrip their resources very quickly. That's how I began to build my own network of individuals who could help put my resume into the right pile to get selected for 1st and superday rounds.

 

I am also coming from a non-target and just got my offer last week! Congrats!
