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

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.
