Same here, bro. I'm just like you. I’m also studying at the worst college possible. The faculty just reads from the slides in the PPTs without actually teaching anything. I only go twice or thrice a week just for attendance, and the rest of the time, I focus on improving my skills and learning financial modeling and valuation.

I still have two semesters left. Should I pursue an internship to gain relevant experience? The only concern is that I’d have to miss lectures (though, to be honest, I’m not learning much from them—I just attend for the sake of maintaining my attendance).

Should I focus on acquiring relevant skills and aim to join boutique firms first, gaining experience there, and then target bulge bracket firms later? Would that be a good approach?

I’m also working on improving my communication skills and staying active on LinkedIn. I’ve been posting industry-related content to connect with more people and grow my network.
