Breaking into Banking

I'm attending my EMBA program at Stern with expected graduation of May 2026. My plan is to apply and interview for I-Banking Internship Associate positions for summer 2025. Hoping to build up my excel, modeling, DCF, and valuation skills to bring my previous 12+ years in Advertising, Tech and Global Operations to the banking industry. 

Short Experience: 

Start-up that went through an LBO.

Started a Creative Ad Agency, built to $2m+ rev

Global Ops at IPG, MB a Global Holding Co of $10b+ rev. 

Excited to Break into Banking.
