This is the way, you're not doing anything wrong. Just one feedback - don't get entitled as ~8 months by 3rd year is not alot lot. Followed the same path as you but still had difficulty landing in a t-1 (with close to 1.5yrs of internships in t-2s)
The whole point of long internships is contacts. Make it
The relaxed college attendence requirements enable me to intern long term keeping up with academics.
I've had more than 8 months of internship experience by 3rd year across litigation and some corporate work. The point is that the places I've interned aren't well know, like relatively small tierless places. But I've had loads to learn in terms of work and even managing clients.
Is this an issue? Getting in any T1-T2 internships is difficult as I don't have any contacts. What should I target going forward, please advise.
