Studying in Germany, need internship
Hello, I study business in Germany with focus in finance because I want to become an investment banker. I moved here seven years ago. I have a really hard time keeping my grades at a good level because I have to work a lot and my university is far away so I can only attend a few lectures a week, so they are under the average now. Also school is very difficult here. I know those sound like excuses but I just want to tell you how it is.
I wanted to ask if anyone has any tips for me getting an internship in the USA. I hope I wouldn't get rejected by all the banks due to my grades.
Maybe it is advantage that I study in Germany and had to adapt to everything, which is not easy. Also I work at a smaller stock market. I take finance classes of course. I love math and statistics and similar subjects.
I would really appreciate your help, because it is my dream to become an investment banker. Thank you.
If you do not have a US Visa then it will be hard to get an internship in the US. Try doing something extra to compensate for your GPA and target boutiques in Germany, there are plenty and it would be a good starting point.
I'm a US citizen, so I don't have problems with that. But that was my plan, to apply at boutiques and hopefully get an internship there, either USA or Germany, even other countries.
I think when I get my first internship, everything will be easier. I wish I could get a certificate like CFA, but for now I'll do my best without it
