Hi guys
I need to use this forum much more. Great advice flying around. Anyway, as you can probably glean from the title, I would like to try and enter the investment banking industry as not only do they pay good rates but it seems 90% of the roles are within IB. At the moment the fact that I have no previous IB experience on my CV appears to be a show-stopper.
I'm a PM/BA and have previous Consultancy experience and started my career in Retail Banking and therefore I'm confident that I have the requried skills set.
Do you have any tips on how best to get a path into IB?
Some tips I have been given include:
- Go via the consultancies (Any recommendations would be appreciated)
- Update all qualifications (Is this really necessary?)
- Find a specialism (Easier said then done)
- Network (I bdlieve this could be the way to go)
- Play the numbers game and apply for loads of jobs (Would need serious amounts of caffeine!)
Thanks in advance.
