Hey Fishes ! Would you recommend simply calling a boutique Investment Bank about a Job / Internship. What is an alternative strategy if they are quite small ?

Thank you, looking forward to your advice!!!

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

How necessary is an extracurricular for MBA apps?

Would it be really bad if I had nothing in that section on my app beyond college extracurriculars? Or should I force some activity? I have enough time before I apply to make it look legit to adcoms.
