What path should I take given my options?
Hello, this is my first post here and I enjoy the large amount of content on this site. I'm interested in BB IB, PE, and Hedge Funding. I'm a sophomore at non-target school, currently with a 3.3 GPA, and a rather incomplete resume. I plan to raise my GPA this spring semester to 3.5 or so and am applying to semi target and target schools in order to transfer to hopefully improve my chances of recruitment.
As I'm trying to clinch a summer internship, a family member involved in business in NY offered me the personal contact (they are somewhat friends I'm assuming) of someone very high up in the firm AllianceBernstein, a firm I'm very unfamiliar with and don't see much discussion about. From a brisk look through, it seems like they are a low end and boring firm. I'm after a middle ground between excitement/risk and desk work. Leaning to the left if anything.
Should I take up an internship with them this coming summer if I were to be offered one? What should I say if I were to give him a call? I also have a near direct connection to the fresh CEO of a local Florida credit union, Suncoast and can probably get an opportunity there this summer as well. This would be my first internship, after I complete my sophomore year at my non target.
My main interest is equity, and the goal is to transfer to a target/semi target college, earn my Bachelors in Finance while continuing a string of internships which translates to a full time position at a BB such as ML, JPM, Goldman Sachs.
Just a bit lost here. Advice?
I already did an internship and am doing a seccond one this summer. Doing two internships made a big difference when interviewing.
Take the AllianceBernstein internship if you can get it. Do your hw on the firm, what they do. After you know all you can about the firm contact your family member and have them review your resume, and pit it in for you for the internship program and demonstrate your interest in the firm. Rule no. 1 is never ask for a job unless it is a family member or very very close friend so if you call that one guy your relative knows ask questions about his job and the firm. Use your first internship to get a better one latter.
