Does not having an internship for your sophomore year makes you look bad?
I come from a non-target and I failed to get an internship during my sophomore year. Will this reduce my chances of getting an internship my junior year?

Yes it will reduce your chances, but you are not out of the running and still have a chance. If you are currently a sophomore you need to network right now as SA 2022 is currently going on.
Also try and see if boutique banks near by are doing part time internships in the fall or summer that you can do, these helped me immensely and was the reason I was able to break in.
Thank you!
not necessarily...you just need to fill your summer with SOMETHING good....not playing video games..not driving for doordash / uber.
you could be entrepreneurial and start a company painting houses and employ other high school / college kids (shows management experience)....or do other summer construction work...thats well respected..hard manual labor
you could also be a summer camp counselor...that always looks good...lots of senior bankers were summer camp counselors when they were in college....so its a nice thing to reminisce about (and a lot of fun)
It depends on what kind of junior year internship you’re targeting. If you’re going for a highly competitive junior year internship that takes candidates on a national scale, you’re almost certainly not going to get selected seeing you are from a non-target. If you are looking for something more local (Boutique PWM, tax, etc.), I think you’re certainly fine and have plenty of time to be ready. Also, I wouldn’t just write off your sophomore year already. I know its May, but there’s certainly time to hustle and fine something at a more local level.
You'll want to make it a productive summer (especially b/c you are a non-target). Try to find something last minute and/or get an internship during the school year your junior year.
