Computer Science and ibanking

Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking
1

<p>I entered college as an undergrad pursuing a degree in electrical engineering. Ever since I started, I had my mind set on pursuing a career in business after college with an ideal career being an investment banker. I am preparing to transfer to another prestigious university (GTown) for personal reasons where, there is no engineering. I am in a situation where a computer science major gives me the most credits and best opportunity to graduate in due time (and I do have some interest in the subject). </p>

<p>I am a junior, and haven't had any major internships even though I plan to add that to my resume this summer. Still, it seems I am way behind the curve. As a comp. science major, do I still have a prospective career in i-banking?? and if so, what must I do starting now to turn things around?? (ways to get internships? right people to talk to?...etc)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>network with bankers (alumni, your grandma’s friend’s son or whatever). everything else is pretty obvious (high gpa, internship at BB…)</p>

<p>i am more concerned about the major I will pursue and how that would affect my career prospects…a comp sci major may leave me with a very solid and unique degree in the field but may leave my gpa mediocre…while a major in a social science or in humanities may leave me with a very high gpa but a degree in a general area</p>

<p>any suggestions?</p>
