Getting into IB in London
Hey everyone, I am currently in Uganda and I graduated from a non target uni in acc finance. I am planning on getting into LSE MSc finance next year. I worked in UK for 11 months then I had to leave (personal reason) My current work experiences are :
VC 25/present- Uganda : help with early-stage deal sourcing, startup evaluation, and preparing investment memos. I also support portfolio companies with strategy and financial planning
24/25(internship) - Uganda 6 months internship at Africa Development Bank as a analyst working in sovereign advisory, Emerging markets investment banking, Infrastructure and project finance roles and capital markets desk with public sector exposure.
23/24:big 4 audit full time UK 22/22(summer internship) big 4 audit UK led to getting into big 4 audit.
If I were to join Lse and do a masters could I break into IB UK? Please help me I really want to get into IB and work in the Uk again 🥲
I think you have interesting experience.
Would it stand out because i know im going up against heavy hitters that did internships that are relevant
I think your experience is relevant. I have seen candidates get offers with less
Do you have any recommendations or tips on what I could do?
Get into the Masters programme and apply for summer internships
Could you please guide me boss 🥺
If you get in LSE, your chances for ib offer increase considerably. However, because of your lack of ib (high finance) background you need networking, cold calling with industry professionals and do internships from the first year.
