3 internships already, get more?

Hey guys,

I am at a nontarget and got into banking/finance late.

1 generalist ibanking group 1 restructuring "middle market" ibanking group. Middle market deals but small boutique bank. 2 summers in a Asia VC group for a well known, 5B+ healthcare sector fund.

I also interned at a small LS HF where I served coffee and a small research boutique both of which I had to leave within a month. I don't write these 2 on my resume.

Should I get more? I may have some momentum to get into a well respected AM firm or a small PE firm for next semester, but at this point, should I just focus on networking?

Shooting for either ER or IBD. But honestly, I'll take wtv if its font office at a respected firm.

Happy to answer questions about getting into no-name boutiques.

You should try to get an internship where getting a full time offer is a possibility
