I am wanting to make a move from retail advising into IB. I graduated from a top 40 university with a 3.75 and after school, played pro baseball for a year. I have been in retail advising for the last 1.5 years, and am wanting to get an analyst role in IB for 2 years and then head to MBA land. (25 years old)
I am willing to move anywhere, and am just starting to look.
What advice would you have for me?
