I’m lost any help??

I’ve been reading and watching videos about finiancial modeling, taking accounting and quant classes in school at the moment, so I’m trying my best to learn the stuff even thinking about buying a program so I can learn the financial models better. Also what would be some good questions to ask when networking ?

To piggyback off of this, I agree you are not in a great spot but not in a terrible position either. I wanted to mention something though: I was at a semi target and I filled out 120+ applications to investment banks of all shapes and sizes when i was in your EXACT position. Fine GPA, some work experience (but not relevant, I was at a law firm for 2 summers one at a tech startup), and I THOUGHT IB was something to work toward. I had joined IB courses at my school and the IB club which was somewhat competitive. Out of all of those applications I received ONE response from a small M&A advisory firm out in NYC.

What I learned:

1. Look for smaller shops, email the guys directly (try your luck at anyone from analyst to MD if you have to, but start with analysts)
2. Read the WSO guides, other guides online, and learn the basics. If you are from a finance background, it shouldn't take you a terribly long time.
3. Reach out to all connections and contacts, asking for advice and to learn about their roles. They will offer to help oftentimes without you asking specifically, and if they don't odds are they cant do a lot. Emphasize your desire to learn, and to talk to more individuals within the industry.
4. To reiterate #3, focus on building your network as much as looking for positions.
5. Reach out to tons of boutique investment banks within your area and nearby cities once. These firms oftentimes hire for the summer but do not access their needs until the last minute. Multiple firms have told me they don't hire interns until April. There is still time.
6. Lastly, when discussing IB with someone who is taking the time out of their day to speak with you, do not waste it. Learn as much as possible about their role, their firm, and their career path. Try to ask informed questions, and let them do the majority of the talking. Do not force the conversation in any direction, particularly avoid ensuring it revolves around banking. Many people within the industry take these calls as an opportunity to help you figure out what you want, but also to shoot the shit and chat about things external to their career. I spent an hour learning about an individual's career path and his love for travel and athletics last Friday, and felt like I connected with him. In the end, he gave me transparent advice on how to move forward and determine what I should focus on throughout life in general. The goal here is to create a meaningful connection, as well as to learn about specific firms, roles, and the industry as a whole.
7. Look at other industries. Get your feet wet, find the most applicable experience possible. Look into all finance options. I worked at a search fund, and would advise you to look into those as well.

Hope that helps a little

Thanks for the help. My school actually attended had an on campus recruiting session last week and I attended. Nothing major recruits at my school. However I did talk to the people representing Webster, Key Bank and Fidelity Investments. I need to get some kind of internship under my belt this summer.

I go to the University of Hartford at the time of applications back in high school I wanted to do criminal justice, so I didn't apply to uconn seeing as they didn't have a cj major.
