consulting to i-banking

boilerbanker — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 20:10:19 -0400

I am from a non target and don't work at an investment bank.
Instead, I am doing management consulting and still interested in getting into investment banking down the road.

1) Anyone heard if investment banks hire consultants with 1-2 years of experience or do they just like to pick up kids straight out of college.

2) Also, if I do get into an MBA(top 15 hopefully) directly after 3-5 years of consulting experience, when applying for associate positions at ibanks, am I at a huge disadvantage since I would have no I banking experience pre-MBA?

what exactly is corporate finance?

I want to clarify the organization of i banks question

when looking at an investment bank, isn't it divided into:
1)Corporate Finance(M&A/DCM/ECM/Lev fin, etc)
2)Sales and Trading
3)Research

Also, when referring to the IBD group, are they just referring to any group under the Corporate Finance division or a specific group like M&A?

Thanks in advance.

Private Equity Funds- Future Opportunities

What are the pay/hours/career prospects of working in the Private Equity Fund or the Fund of Funds departments at BB banks.

After working through the ranks for a bit, are the career prospects of getting into one of the big PE firms possible?

Look forward to all responses!
