Going into my senior year. Plan on sitting L1 in December and getting a PWM internship my last semester. Great GPA but total non-target school. Previous finance internships but not super relevant.
As ER / AM seems to be less structured than something like IB, how do you get in from a non-target? I realize networking is huge but I’m looking for alternatives as my alumni base is virtually nil.
I’m not sure about HR stuff. Unless they just so happen to have an open position that matches your profile exactly, it’s likely that you’ll just get put in their “file”. The key is to find someone with decision making ability in a small firm with little red tape. That way, they can say yes on a whim.
