Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

Get a College Degree

A college degree in finance or economics is typically the starting point for entry-level jobs at an investment bank . Accounting and business are also common educational backgrounds.

Go for an Advanced Degree

While you can get a job with a bachelor’s degree, having an advanced degree is another way to improve your prospects. A Master of Business Administration  (MBA) or an advanced degree in math can add to your appeal. A chartered financial analyst  (CFA) certification can help, too.

Nail Down an Internship in Investment Banking

Internships  provide a path for students and recent graduates to obtain full-time employment in just about every profession. Investment banking is no different. An internship gives you an opportunity to try out your desired field, gain exposure to the culture, get work experience, and impress potential employers. It’s an excellent way to jump-start your career.

Network, Network, Network


Long before you land your first megadeal you need to land a job. Selling yourself will be your first task, so every opportunity to do so is important. You need to mix and mingle with people who have the power to hire you or who can recommend you to people who do the hiring. And you need to make a good impression.

Of course, having a parent, uncle, cousin, or family friend who works in the business or has the right contacts never hurts either. The right words in the right ear can open doors.
