What are my chances of landing a job in IB?

I am 26 years old, just graduated with an MSc Finance from a top-tier university in London with merit.

  • 1 internship as an investment analyst in 2021 within asset management

  • 1 year in middle office at a bank before my MSc (2021-2022)

  • 1 year part/full-time as an investment analyst during my MSc Finance for a family investment firm

  • Working in corp dev for a small firm ($1b mcap) (mainly M&A) since august

Worth trying for IB or find another career path?
