Hey everyone. I'm a sophomore at a target school with a 3.87 GPA and good ECs/leadership (although not great - no D1 sports, etc.).
However, the sophomore internship I currently have lined up is in the finance department of a no-name company that isn't even in the finance industry. And the only reason I got the job is because my neighbor works there.
So how fked am I for junior year BB IB recruiting (summer internships)? Should I start cold calling every local boutique investment bank and PE firm?
The problem is that I have no prior work experience because I didn't know what career/major I wanted to pursue during freshman year. Now I'm feeling a huge amount of regret.
And, looking on LinkedIn, basically everyone who has a BB junior internship from my school worked at either a PE firm, hedge fund, or F500 during their sophomore year.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
