There are lots of kids who go to non-target state schools and graduate with no internship experience. How do they get jobs?

They don't get as "good" jobs in general. If you don't get a top IB offer that's one thing, but to me, there is no excuse if you don't get any internship offer (other than extreme circumstances like a family emergency).
Love this
They slip through the cracks
I worked extremely hard learning the system, understanding what FO managers look for, and beefing up my resume for 12-15 months and then got an IB offer.
Turned a summer internship after graduation (good firm) into a FT into 2 early promotions into an even better job.
Don't fret.
Didn’t have a relevant trading internship until my last summer of college, and I graduated the December after that. Got a return offer and leveraged that into an offer at another company. I went to the most non-target of non-targets, we’re takking78% acceptance rate like 28% graduation rate.
You need to network.
I was in a similar situation... I fucked around in college hard.
Ultimately I was able to land a Credit Analyst spot at a decent regional bank and moved on from there. You better believe I prepped for that interview like no other.... absolutely crushed it.
You’ll find something decent if you’re motivated enough. Get after it
You lie on your resume, fake a GPA and put some half assed fake internships in man.
Be real homie, if your this big of a failure you need to fake the next couple of steps. To moral for this? than fuck off and deal with being unemployed. I had a bad gpa in undergrad, faked some numbers and landed a sick job I have right now. Do the same yourself, and get yourself to a point where you don't have to be dishonest to move forward.
0 is a lonely number, he turns everyone he multiplies into himself, time to tell yourself you're a fucking 4.
How did you do this? I've worked for a small bank and a F500 and neither asked for my transcripts -- but at bigger banks or firms I feel like it's more vetted. I guess you could make up an internship but if they call the company then you're fucked
While this is honestly his only choice (OP is trolling by the way) besides unemployment, I still hate people who do stuff like you. Sorry, no shame in it. Just a fact.
What is your goal? The solution steps vary widely depending on where you want to be. Breaking into IB vs. AM vs. PE vs. RE is very different. I was in your situation years ago, and I networked, got a dozen significant letters after my name, and tried to show that I was always the smartest person in the room to break into AM.
Is AM as hard as IB to break into from non-traditional backgrounds? How does AM compare to RE?
