Any chance to break into IB from CorpFin (Big 4) - Australia
Any advice for a second year analyst in Big 4 Corporate Finance looking to break into IB?
I know there are a lot of threads on this, but nothing specific to Australia, which is very different to the USA. For example, there is absolutely no emphasis on getting an MBA for top-tier jobs over here.
I have experience on a broad range of M&A, DD and Restructuring deals as our office is relatively small - so we have no separate TaS team etc.
Me:
- One internship in Big 4 Financial Assurance (auditing) whilst at university
- Lots of extracurricular experience whilst at university (President of two finance clubs, some awards and case competitions won etc.)
- Masters in Finance from a top university in Australia with distinction (90% average). Consisted of coursework and a thesis (I wrote about 100 pages - did an event study on shareholder activism)
- Undergrad degree in Accounting & Finance with pretty average grades
- CFA level 2 completed
- Two years in big 4 Corporate Finance
I'm aiming for somewhere like BAML, Goldman or UBS. Is there any hope for me?
