Episode Ep. 49 - How Being a Pre-Med Student Helped Him Land a Top IB Internship Cover

Ep. 49 - How Being a Pre-Med Student Helped Him Land a Top IB Internship

In this episode of The Coffee Chat Podcast, Ben sits down with Magnus Gadowsky, a sophomore at Amherst College who started college on a pre-med track and just accepted a junior year investment banking internship at Triple Tree in New York. In this episode, Magnus shares how shadowing an orthopedic surgeon and an unexpected internship at Magnetar Capital sent him down a completely different path. We cover how he used his healthcare background as a genuine differentiator across 60+ networking calls, how Adventis helped him understand what investment banking actually was, and how a connection through an Amherst friend led him to Triple Tree. Magnus also shares one of the best interview tips we've heard on the show, going deep enough on firm culture to uncover something truly unique, not just the generic talking points.
