This reminds me of the random (mostly indian) guys that respond to general posts of F500 companies on Linkedin.

I can’t believe I’m biting, but I don’t think you should pursue “IBD”. Just an An1 opinion, ignore title.

1. It doesn’t seem like you’re in college, so you’ll have to recruit for full time which is more difficult.

2. You have to be strong at writing, at minimum don’t write in phish. 

3. You don’t have any relevant experience besides some quantitative skill.

5. Sounds like youre pursuing prestige, which never ends well.(For employer and employee)

4. While anything is possible, at this point I don’t think it’s worth the time for you. You’ll have to slog through a masters program and use time to gain experiences before you can even touch banking. It’s not a career field you can just be one dimensional, quantitative. You could get a more enjoyable career pursuing something else. 

 

1. I know I  do not have relevant experience. But who have experience first? if I can get a chance, I Must be good at it. I have fast learning skill, and I am good at math.

2. I am not full time student. I already took some France class now. Hope I can finish my master degree of France in the future. 

3. IBD is my dream since I were 6 years old. I know where I plan to go since in elementary school. 

4. I got you. do you have some exactly suggestion to find a intern, Not just bitting me ? Please

I really appreciate you reply me .
