I've had some pretty high people tell me that your grades, degrees and past don't mean anything in comparison to the people you know. Network. I'll let you know if thats bullshit or not in May. Are you looking for an internship for the summer now or a real job for '13?

I know my Mom worked on Maiden (Madoff) Lane in Manhattan for a summer and hasn't been back in the city willingly since. The Banking climate sucks and the only people I know that are getting in at big banks are in IT right now.
