big trouble - need help

Currently a sophomore at a non target without much exp in finance, badly need a relevant internship next summer, I have emailed 150-200 people and been meeting bankers, but they either dont have internships right now or aren't responding, what do i do?

 

1) Expand your search to adjacent industries like transaction services at an accounting firm, auditing, or other positions that will help you be familiar with financial statements and put a good name on your resume 2) Take a financial modeling course from someone like the investment banking institute 3) Look at other jobs you might be interested in. You have to have a plan B and a plan C that you would still get excited about 4) Breathe into a paper bag until you calm down. You are a sophomore, most people won't pay attention to you until you are a junior

Dude, you'll be ok, just keep plugging away and like point three above says, consider alternatives that open up doors and can be used as leverage for next year - ER, PWM, corpfin, etc....
Get busy living

Sounds like you already have a solid start...why are you worrying so much?

ill need experience like boutique ib or boutique pe in the next summer so that i can have a shot at getting bb ibd during junior summer, especially given that i'm at a non target.

 

You need to relax, you've already got good experience under your belt. You're wanting boutique PE experience as a sophomore? How about find some hobbies, maybe go outside once in a while....but seriously, don't sweat it.
