Junior Prepared for banking?

So I am a junior at Rutgers Univeristy and wanted to know how to spin my experience and major towards banking firms....

Major: Math & Comp Sci Dual...3.95 GPA

Experience:

Junior year:
Intern: PwC Advisory
Intern: Johnson & Johnson IT Finance

Sophmore year:
Intern: Morgan Stanley Smith Barney

Since I am applying F/T starting in August, how do I spin what I currently have into showing banks that I am interested in banking or trading...

How do I market myself away from being a tech person to a front office position...

Any suggestions?

 

You've got the right major/gpa for a quant type role, so what it's really going to come down to is networking your ass off so you can get some interviews. Then it's basically up to you to prove why you want to do banking. maybe talk about how having these experiences showed you it really wasn't what you were looking for, and then by showing your interest in financial markets etc

 

What are you doing this summer? It's not too late to try to get a boutique IB internship, and you have a solid resume.

I do get what you're saying though-it's a strong resume but it doesn't scream banking. Pretty simple though- if your resume doesn't scream banking, you have to tell people yourself-do a ton of networking. If you go out of your way to set up meetings with bankers in person, they won't question whether you're serious about breaking in.
