Extra curriculars for IB
So I am a sophomore at a top 10 school that is a semi target. I am currently involved on the board of a few consulting clubs and I am starting a club that does pro Bono consulting and venture research for impactful businesses. I have internships related to finance but my school only has 2 clubs related to finance and even if I joined which I have a decent chance at both, but especially the investment fund one, I will not have significant leadership positions before recruiting for summer 2022. Are these activities good enough to get past the hr screen?
Can you say what school this is? In any case, you're probably going to want some relevant internship(s) too.
I'd recommend 1-2 finance clubs, and then another "hobby" club or something like student government. Kinda cringe at kids with 4-5 finance clubs - no need to patronize the industry so much.
Jesus Christ just do a hobby you fucking enjoy and stop trying so damn hard. Take a second to just listen to yourself, dude - you sound like a fucking loser. The interviewer doesn’t give a fuck about consulting club.
Just don’t be cucked by the thought of one day updating your LinkedIn to “Analyst at (LMM IB)” for 10 seconds of your life.
Rough day at work man? Why'd you just explode on this kid LMFAO mad awkward
Student managed funds
Do something fun bro. People want to be around other people with interests outside of work. If your whole life is focused on banking, then you may not come across as conversationally apt aka you will be a bad fit.
I was in 0 clubs and had no issues. Just make sure you get some experience internship wise and you should be fine. Clubs are sorta useless imo unless its a reputable smf or something. They are only good for networking i guess.
At least we know that you're probably able to handle working 80+ hours a week by being in 5+ clubs on top of school work. With the stories I've been hearing of freshmen and sophomores getting hammered with work during the virtual setting you must not be sleeping at all during the semester.

Try rowing or squash. Rowing is better though
