Question: How can I get an internship in the financial modeling industry?
Answer: The good news is that getting an internship in the financial modeling industry is not as hard as it looks. The problem is that most financial modelers immediately think of top investment banks, hedge funds, private equity firms and the like – but forget that there is a lot of competition for those top jobs. There is nothing wrong with targeting top firms, and you should, but realistically know that you should also target other companies. In fact, every little city in the world has multiple businesses of varying sizes, and the fact is that most businesses require a financial modeler and will be happy to give you an internship. Focus on getting the experience, not on your first pay check, and you will easily get an internship.
