I have a coffee meeting with a wealth management VP coming. To give some context- I cold messaged him on LinkedIn, telling him a little about my self, asking for guidance and discussing opportunities at his firm that fits my description. (For my resume ofc) my goal is to break in Investment banking as non target, and I’m also a freshmen. What are something I can do to stand out and get the offer? He already mention how he liked how proactive I was.

Anything helps please and thank you!

To add on little more I’m currently taking the Wallstreet prep excel course for the certification on LinkedIn, and plan on doing much more outside of school learning this summer if I don’t land an internship.

Just be yourself! Also FYI- if this is a wealth management position, I would not mention you are wanting to go into IB eventually.

Haha definitely not lol:) Thanks!
