Transfer to a real target. FYI, Ivey's the only semitarget in your country.

Enter the recruiting pool just like everyone else. The bank I interned at is fairly reputable in its space (small deals of a particular sector that I will not identify). I was able to land an offer at a BB, where I am now.

Just impress and know your shit. You might just be perceived as someone who got interested in banking a little later than everyone and thus had to interview at lower-tier banks for an internship. Interviewers don't expect all college students to desire careers in IBD starting freshman year.

 

Stuff ive heard from friends who got the FT offer as well as current colleagues: Stand out, show genuine interest, dont take vacation time (i have 4 days allocated to that over 10 weeks, but i dont plan on taking any days off - ill get paid which is a bonus AND it looks good), network network network.

And no Iveys not the only target but ill leave it there as this isnt the school forum.
