I think as a student I can’t directly reply to comments - but as a response to someone assuming lower grades - I actually have a pretty solid GPA and have started networking at other places too. I just assumed increasing the number of channels to network would be a good idea.

Good luck, I know my capital markets team is done hiring (usually done early fall) but maybe some will appear in mid Jan

Honestly you should probably be asking your careers office, upper years or alumni, especially since it’s close to summer recruiting time for these firms. Not sure how asking on Fishbowl is a better use of time, especially since that signals likely lower grades for oncampus recruiting.
