how did you stumble upon
how did you stumble upon this website if you think an i-banker is a stock broker?? Read "the fast track" by Miriam Naficy, it is a good book about careers in the industry. Institutional Sales is essentially a stock broker....i-banking is much different
stock broker= sort of the
stock broker= sort of the middlemen helping make trades between those selling & those buying.
i-bankers= ppl helping those who want to raise capital by issuing securities and selling 'em to those who are willing to buy.
sounds to me pretty much the same job
Wow I've never heard it so
Wow I've never heard it so lucidly explained before chevalier. I would not hesitate to use this analogy in your interview.
Look at this idiot, chevalier's other post
I'm a physics + biomedical computation double major (soph) at stanford with 3.0 cum. GPA.
Most of my physics classmates are too busy with quantum mech. problem sets or in that dark basement lab trying to figure out bose-einstein condensation to care about other things, but I got curious about this ibanking career recently because it seem to be a "cool" job to have.
I would really want to have some feedback if my 3.0 GPA is an insurmountable roadblock for me to get an internship with BB? My physics GPA is actually quite good, what brought it down so much was the Organic chem classes i took last year. Anyway, I would really like to hear some feedback.
Thanks
You have no chance. Why don't you try learn something before you come on here talking smack.
Go put on a lab coat or something.
"curious about this ibanking
"curious about this ibanking career recently because it seem to be a "cool" job to have." Pretty much sums things up.
On the bright side, you can still get your cool job with TD Ameritrade...
TD Ameritrade is a small
TD Ameritrade is a small online retail broker catered to individuals. You also have Scottrade etc.
(i did notice sarcasm though)
Investment banks also does this on a large scale ie. issuing/buying stocks from corporates and selling stocks to hedge/mutual funds.

Streetluck are you asian? Otherwise you might want to stop generalizing here. I say this b/c Ive seen plenty of kids from all diff races be in the dark about banking. Its not race specific.
