2L Summer Corporate/Securities Options at this point

Here’s where I’m at right now... struck out on my 3 callbacks, and I feel like I’m back to square one. Had 2 v100 Callbacks and one CB with a NYC Comm Lit firm. Thought they all went really well, apparently not well enough.

Top 25% at a T3 in NY, Law Review. Finance undergrad and interested in Corporate/M&A, Financial Services, but not entirely opposed to comm lit either. I’ve mass mailed just about every v100 with a corporate practice and NY office, and applied to a lot of mid size regional firms as well.

Now I’m panicking because clearly I should have been more conservative in applying to “safety” positions (by this I just mean jobs I was more likely to get), and I have nothing else in the works. I’ve also applied to some in-house SA positions too btw.

If you guys could please give me ideas on summer positions I might still have a shot at at this stage, I’d really appreciate it. Looking primarily in NY, but I’m open to just about anything on the east coast now. Florida prob second choice, and don’t wanna be in a really small market, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.

Cold email some recruiting staff at KE offices. CapM needs bodies. Better yet, look for school alums and go through them.

I presume OP meant a Tier 3 school - so like #100 - 150 - although, I could be wrong

OP here, Correct on Tier 3. Although if Tier 3 is 100-150, I take that back. Thought Tier 3 was in the 50-100 range.
