investment bank

I email a MD through my alumni network and he reply me within the next few hours.

Since he is based in Asia, we decided to have a conversation using email. I asked him to be my referral? Is this a smart move?

From reading the article it looks like Wells Fargo won't bother to dabble in the investment banking industry. Just means more bloodletting on the street.

Hey guys,

I'm going to start working as an analyst in an MM bank next year. Assuming I do well, does anyone know if it would be realistic/possible to move to a BB bank as an analyst in a year or two as a lateral hire?

Thanks

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE COMPANY AND ITS INTERVIEW?? PLEASE HELP ME OUT

I'm entering my senior year of college (non-target) as an information systems major. I have been working for the last five years as a systems administrator for an insurance company. My plan has been to graduate and then obtain a good job in the IT field for five years or so and then apply to an MBA program. Eventually (with luck) I hope to end up working for an investment bank or PE firm. Anyways, there's a guy in my building who is an MD for a startup investment bank that is focusing on the newspaper/media sector. I'm pretty sure that I could snag an internship from him, but it would surely bite into my time for classes and other activities. My question is, would this be a productive internship or would I be better off to just wait until I have started my MBA to begin ibank internships? If I did complete the internship, I am still doubtful that I could get a middle market ibank job (upon graduation from undergrad) due to my non-target state school.

Thank you
