I’m currently a sophomore studying finance + analytics/AI, and I’ve been fortunate enough to already secure a 2027 role. That said, I don’t want to just coast this summer, I’d really like to build skills, get some real experience, and stay productive.
The problem is… I’m not really sure how to go about finding something worthwhile, especially remote.
Ideally, I’m looking for something like:
- Remote work (flexible is fine)
- Relevant to finance / data / AI / analytics
- Actually builds skills (not just busywork)
For anyone who’s been in a similar spot:
- How did you land something meaningful early on?
- Are there specific platforms, strategies, or types of roles I should be targeting?
- Is cold outreach worth it, and if so, how do you do it effectively?
Appreciate any advice!
