Hello all,
I am a Canadian student and I quiet often do have random thoughts flowing into me about what to do with my undergrad education. How much of accounting knowledge should someone have in order to get a job at IBD for M&A? If designation is needed... which one? (Btw I am at Canada and I also wanna goto U.S if possible) CA? CPA? CMA? CGA?
