I’m 17 but I’ll be a junior in college this year, will my age effect my chances of landing an internship in quant finance for next summer? Hearing about the difficulties involving successful attempts at landing an internship at target companies has made me weary, as I don’t have any related work experience. I will be getting dual under-grad degrees in math and computer science, but I’ve yet to take a data structures and algorithms course. Any advice is appreciated.

Your age won't affect it, I'd be more worried about finishing your degrees if you haven't taken data structures yet lol.

Depends on the company, I'd say. Some companies have an age requirement of 18. But you're 17 and already over halfway finished with college, so I think companies will look at that more and be impressed. However, definitely take that data structures course first.

Why do pharma companies rely so much on consultants like Axtria and ZS ? What I feel is Pharma companies mostly hire them for data cleaning.
