Quote from bigbrent701:
Well its unfortunate you did not take me seriously. I have a connection with the former senior VP of trading at this firm. Typically summer internships ARE reserved for children of clients or prospective clients, however they have changed their policy.
It is also unfortunate that you did not answer my question. I did not ask for your opinion on chances of getting this internship. I asked for interview advice not what their typical hiring routines are. Why cant you just answer the question asked instead of putting in your two cents. That is rather unprofessional.
I think you, my friend are rather unprofessional.
In the words of Dan Loeb, don't waste your time.
