Career in IB with a BA and a MsC
Good afternoon everyone! In a few months, I'll be graduating from Bocconi University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Global Law. I passed the entrance exam for the Master of Science (MSC) in Finance at Bocconi. I'd like to pursue a career in investment banking, first as an analyst (front office roles) and then moving up. However, many people (including several professors and people in BB/EB) have told me that having a Bachelor of Arts instead of a Bachelor of Science will be a huge disadvantage, and even with a Master of Science, it will be very difficult for me to get into IB or Private Equity. What do you think? Are they right, or do I have a chance?
When I chose Global Law as a course at Bocconi, it was because I thought that having a knowledge of law would help me a lot for any MSc I would do, because the combination of law + finance would help me rather than just something financial (BSC in Finance + MSC in Finance).
No your profs are idiots, respectfully. Getting ego checked by a BB or EB guy doesnt mean much either. Law and finance is a very strong combination.
So it's not a problem to compete with those who studied finance/management/economics even in their undergraduate degree?
Id get your MS before trying to recruit, you will probably lose if you go against them currently. The path of BA to MBA or MS is common and works out from what I have seen.
