Trinity to Boutique IB | Chat with Tudor | WSO Academy

Tudor didn’t even know what investment banking was until late sophomore year.

By then, most students had already recruited and secured internships.
But that didn’t stop him.

He used WSO Academy to stack multiple internships — from Big 4 roles in Romania to equity research and eventually, an investment banking internship in the U.S.

In this chat, Tudor shares:

How studying abroad at LSE sparked his finance interest

The struggle of being a late starter from a non-target school

How he overcame visa confusion and international challenges

His exact strategy for networking, cold outreach, and internship stacking

What finally helped him break into IB through an off-cycle boutique internship

This is a must-watch if you're starting late or come from a non-target background.
