MIS, Maths, Stats…

Even then, math and stats end up on DS trajectory. My schools MIS track was better suited for data analysts

Data engineering is where many DS folks end up. CS/stats dual major should do the trick.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
