Cambridge associates to IB?

Hi, I'm interning at a startup PE firm, have been doing a fair amount of biz. dev. Wondering if someone would provide new advice regarding Cambridge Associates..?The role I'm considering at CA (not my PE firm, to be clear) sounds like Excel data manipulation for portfolio management and use of proprietary software. I have been really hoping to get in with a boutique IB as an analyst. I was a medical student. Really very high undergrad GPA from non-target also, and some other standout wins in my background. Anyone experience CA to IB? I have not taken any finance or accounting courses. I have taken math through calculus and a math course for management.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I recently had my first roadmap meeting with a mentor from WSO Academy, and it was truly a pleasure. We had such an open, genuine, and insightful conversation. What I appreciated most was how closely his background, career path, and long-term vision aligned with my own ambitions. It was almost as if we shared the same goals and outlook on the future, which made the conversation even more valuable. We discussed a wide range of topics, including starting my career in an analyst role in the APAC region, potential pathways into private equity, and how to eventually transition into the U.S. market. We also talked about opportunities in the Middle East and Europe, the importance of building and maintaining a strong professional network, and even the possibility of starting my own company in the long term. He shared valuable advice on the next steps I should take and how to approach my career strategically. What made the meeting particularly special was how approachable, supportive, and genuinely interested he was in my ambitions. Since I’m currently completing my internship in Singapore and he will also be visiting Singapore soon, we’re planning to meet for a coffee chat, which I’m really looking forward to. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for this experience. It was a genuinely inspiring, helpful, and insightful conversation that made me even more confident about my decision to join WSO Academy. I feel fortunate to have connected with a mentor whose experience and vision align so closely with the career path I hope to pursue.”
