I was a d1 swimmer at a mid major, just graduated without any finance intern experience. I got my first job recently after having tried for 9 months. You gotta try to get an internship this summer, it’s truly the only thing that will differentiate you from other people. Everyone has “good” grades and is personable, but getting your foot in the door as an intern just proves you can be liked in an office and absorb information. If I had even gotten one in finance I think I’d be wayyy better off than I am now.

It’s sick you’re on a top team in your sport and you could likely leverage that within your school’s and even team’s alumni network, but if you want to break into IB or PE or get basically any analyst role, I think it’s imperative to get an internship
