What’s that?
Well. My associates is a former accountant which is awesome because I get to learn accounting, but horrible because he doesn’t understand economics. If you don’t understand basics of microeconomics, like competition, cost curves, marginal utility, present value etc., you will struggle in understanding buyers and company narratives.
For example, if you can’t conceptualize economic earnings, you’ll fail to present an accurate company EBITDA / growth picture.
Enough to convince someone that spending potentially billions of dollars is worth it…
Accounting is important, but no econ beyond basic intro macro/micro is really necessary. The high-level stuff an economist or econ Ph.D. stuff has little relevance to the day to day in banking. Obviously most people follow the markets and understand the macro situation, but that is different from the technical forecasting economists do
I want your suggestion. As my uni is not a UK target school, because of which HR might filter it out even before it gets reviewed by a banker (correct me if I'm mistaken), do you think it is a good idea to move the work experience to the top and move education to a lower part of the CV in order to make my banking experience the first thing that is seen on the CV? Or is it safer to stick to the conventional format of listing the education first. This is the full CV
