Hi! I'm currently a student @ Georgia tech majoring in CS and Biomedical engineering. I'm looking to land a job in management consulting or finance of some sorts ( i am currently studying related areas of skill outside of school ). What kind of internships should I start landing? Would it be helpful to look for a CS / SWE internship to expand on that skill set?

Focus on what you actually want to do and then start building the work history that will get you there. If the focus is finance, then get something in finance. We are the ones who build the paths we take.

First decide which specific field you want to enter. Do a fiancé internship if you’re interested in finance.
