Hello everyone! I just finished my undergraduate studies at the University of Rochester, majoring in Finance with a 3.6 GPA. As an international student, I’m trying find an investment banking or related field internship or full time job.
I only have some experience in small companies such as a fund lending company, and I found it extremely difficult to networking with others in this small city. The only thing I received from all my applications was rejection. Are there any advices?

Have you talked to the career center? What have they said? The ceo of Jeffries is an alum of UofR they prob hire some students. They prob can get you some people to talk to? IB is going to be hard to get into off cycle

Tell them to give you some names. Basically half of their job. Say Hi looking to get IB can you provide me with a list of alums that have showed an interest in talking to new grads.

Agree with speaking with the career center. There were some big headquarters there when I graduated near Rochester. It might not be investment banking since you are not in the city. Are you also needing sponsorship as well?

I know, it’s relatively difficult. Anyway, thank you for your reply. You have a nice day.
