Ask for Career Advise for IB in Calgary, Canada
Hi all,I recently graduated from Haskayne school of Business, University of Calgary with a dual degree, BComm in Finance and BSc in Applied Mathematic. (Jun 2021)
I want to break into IB in Canada, preferably in Calgary. I believe my School is not a Target School and nobody knows it outside of Calgary. Therefore, I hope to get advice and suggestion from you guys to help me break into IB.
Following is a brief introduction of my background: 1. First year GPA is around 2, which made my CGPA is little bit low. 2. Major GPA in finance around 3.87. 3. I completed my final year in university when I have one full time job as an supervisor in supermarket. (Still not sure how to convert this experience into an banker resume, like leadership(co led a team of 10-15 people), time management skill, or quick learner?) Final year GPA is 3.81/4, in 14 courses include spring term. 4. No any banking relevant experience. 5. I have two years of entrepreneurial experience and set up a small investment company(Capital:200kCAD) with two classmates. We look for viable investment opportunities in stocks, digital currencies and restaurants(analyze opportunities by financial theory we learn in school such as DCF model, LBO model). I dropped out two year late because courses were getting harder. 6. CFA 2021 Nov Candidate.
The lack of intern and Coop's experience is due to the fact that I have always had a part-time job while I was at school.
Is there any chance of getting into IB in my situation? Will taking some modeling courses help me get into IB? Or CFA?Should I started from Retail Bank for gaining experience and join IB later?Thank you all for valuable comments.
In the end, which modeling course is more valuable? CFI? BIWS? WSP? or WSO?
No internships, No gigs. Enjoy your Master's.
