FT 2022 without IB internship

Gonna be working corporate finance doing credit stuff at a very reputable bank this summer going into my senior year ( not an Investment bank), wondering what it will look like to to recruit investment banking full time without an IB SA position this summer. Any advice from others who have gone through this process would be very helpful

It fucking sucks, you probably need to target the MMs and boutiques that hire a decent amount for FT like Jefferies or FT Partners. Try to have bullet points that scream IB even if it's not an IB internship. Be open to a non-NYC location and networking is going to be huge.
