I've never really seen unpaid internships fly at BB's but then again I'm only one person. I feel if you network a lot and get in touch with a VP/MD you'd be able to get your foot in the door that way -- otherwise, unpaid internships are very popular with boutique firms that have small S&T desk. You have to start somewhere -- it may not be glamorous, but you'll thank yourself later. Oh, and when I say network -- network like it's your 12-15 hour job. Reach out to people, go grab coffee with them, send them a hand-written thank you letter and remember follow-up emails as well. People in the industry have so many things to do 9-5 that they forget about who they had coffee with 2 weeks ago who was an aspiring unemployed college graduate wanting a job. Make yourself memorable, just not in the jeffrey chiang sense.

 

Fuga quaerat recusandae autem et. Libero sint blanditiis enim adipisci similique deserunt. Debitis hic sit aut. Fuga eum fugit repellat aut laboriosam. Reprehenderit nobis impedit inventore unde. Ut qui velit sapiente dignissimos tenetur.
