banking

Hi every one !

i am brand new to this site and want to get some advice from you guys

i am 26 at the moment and have a management degree from a relatively good Uni and work as an accounts manager for last 2 years. with hopes of getting to corporate banking , i have started doing IMC by CFA and also doing a short risk management course at another uni.

now the million dollar question is, will that help me getting in to investment/corporate banks in the city ? would greatly appreciate if any of you folkz can give me some real advice ?

cheers x

I hope that you actually learned how to do some real work in that "Management" degree of yours. To get into banking you have to have a ripper CV and good networking skills. If you're networking skills are fantastic, you can still get into banking with a crap CV, but it is very hard to break into banking with poor networking skills and a ripper CV.

If you are good at working with stats and numbers and you can put together excellent presentations then you could possibly wrangle a job as a junior analyst at a small IB. You have no chance unless have those skills though, plenty of good analysts to choose from and no need to hire useless management majors.
