Dual threat (Low GPA, no internship experience) Dec ‘22 grad looking for advice to avoid working for Northwestern Mutual or Vector Marketing

您好无聊的分析师!因此,正如标题所说,我在几个月内毕业,没有相关经验和低GPA。但是,我确实有一个粗糙的长期计划。

The Plan: Get some decent paying finance job for several years in order to save up for a qualityMSF. Hopefully then get a role in the intelligence community as an economic intelligence analyst.

I find myself in this predicament as my security clearance was denied for a role due to drug use within the preceding 48 months. In the period of time from my application to that job until now my GPA slipped significantly (from a 3.7) due to being on a prescribed medication that messed me up and the suicide of a close friend (though last semester i pulled a 3.5 when i stopped taking the meds). Heres a bit more about my background

Pros:

-Go to a solid semi target (ND/BC/UVA/UNC/UMich)

-Major in finance with fairly strong grades in major

-Very strong people skills/articulate

-Strong non finance extracurricular/volunteer experience

-Parents live in CT so纽约is easily commutable

-Naturally inquisitive/adept problem solver

- 在Excel/建模处

Cons:

-Cumulative GPA

- 无关的实习经验

-Haven't networked much

-No leadership roles in finance or business clubs

-No short term direction/passion for anything in particular in finance that im qualified for right now

在an ideal world id get anERjob but Iknow my GPA will preclude me from that. I have taken a number of classes and am interested in the renewables space. Intrigued byCREdevelopment and have taken courses but think it is not helpful towards my goals/MSFapplication.

如果你在我的鞋子里,你会拍什么角色?有什么角色是“ er lite”吗?FP&A建议吗?有人碰巧在可再生能源的项目融资中工作吗?任何进一步的建议也将不胜感激。
