You have a great community here at WSO. Came for an answer and ended up forum surfing for the past 2 hours.

Interesting name @WiseCapitalist, Care to formally introduce yourself (eg.: industry, background, role).

Sure. Currently i'm a second year analyst for a boutique investment bank in Romania. Department wise, i'm part of a small M&A department covering all industries in Romania and EMEA.

 

Nice.. But why did you chose to get a degree in computer science if you are now working in IB and also planning to get the CFA? I guess majoring in finance& banking would have been a more obvious choice..
