Getting a finance internship is the most important factor that will determine whether you are able to break into investment banking upon graduation. As a freshman or sophomore, you should diligently reach out to small finance firms with loose recruiting processes, like search funds, small hedge funds, and merchant banks. Make sure to run a “careers precedent” and look at the past experience of people who have walked down your path.

Hey Matt, I'm a year 1 uni student, and I want to get a summer internship in investment banking. What would you recommend, because I don't have any prior experience.
Thank you for all the great content! Your videos are very helpful and probably as comprehensive as they could possibly be.
Thank you!
Thanks!!. But as a freshman I can't find internhsips for first years😢 EU
I'm a loser business major
Hi Matt loved the video. For search funds, when do they usually look to hire interns for the following summer?
looking at 50-100 Lin profiles..
nice idea..
will try
What do you think about interning at a Startup Accelerator/Startup?
How can I improve my profile before applying for an internship in finance ?
Hey Matt. I didn't get a summer internship this year, so I'd like to work during the school year if I can. Because my school is kind of isolated, I'd be far from any large financial center where I could show up in-person — how willing would smaller firms usually be to take in interns during the school year who can only work online?
Would you say the Canadian Securities Course or Bloomberg Market Concepts is a better course?
What are some search funds in Canada?
Very helpful video! Learned a lot as a college student. Thanks Matt!
Thanks for the information! I understand that IB internship recruiting is hyper-accelerated, but for reaching out to small finance firms and landing an initial summer/school-year finance internship, when would you recommend to begin reaching out to firms?
Hi Matt, when it came to your info on international internships, would a finance technology internship in Shanghai be of any use in the US specifically applying in the Bay area? I want to check your thoughts on that since Shanghai is a major business hub and lots of US businesses want to interact with some aspect of the Chinese market. I was thinking of possibly finding a US based company that has internships in Shanghai so that once i am back i will still have relevant experience to find work in the Bay area.
Excellent content. Thank you!
im a non finance major ( not even business im a engineering major ) can I get a finance internship if so how do you suggest I build up my resume for applying !
Bro I’m only 14
Hi, does first year uni results matter when applying for summer internships at IBs?
Hi Matt, where can I find these search funds started by HBS/standard/wharton graduates?
Agree with all of this except that bloomberg market concepts is a meme
Hii, my concern is that according to my academic performance, It won't be difficult to enter Canadian target schools, but it will be hard for me to pay for them as an international Student, so shall I go to a little less prestigious school in Canada( University of Alberta, Calgary etc..) please tell🙏
Hey, could you talk more about Investment Banking in Canada. There is no reliable data about IB salaries and the landscape in Canada. I would really like to know how much fresh IB analysts make in Canada especially in cities like Calgary and Toronto.
Thank you!!!!!!!
