IB prospects
Hey guys, so this might be a long shot, but realistically what are my chances of still breaking into IB anywhere with the following profile? See below:
Bachelor’s degree in Economics and a minor in Applied Statistics from Syracuse University (decent, but non-target uni in the U.S.) with a 3.586/4.0 GPA, a postgraduate qualification in Accounting & Finance from the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE), as well as a MSc in Management (Finance major) from Imperial College London with Merit honours (equivalent to a second class upper honours). Both strong targets in the U.K.
Prior internships at a sub-Saharan African based bank called Ecobank in their investment banking division, where I gained financial modelling experience, as well as experience preparing pitch books for debt financing transactions, at KPMG in their audit division, but now working full-time for a venture capital firm called Verraki Partners (formerly called Accenture), where I help build financial models for our clients, which enable potential investors determine the viability of our clients’ business models, prepare investment proposals, contract agreements etc.
My chances of breaking into IB in the U.S. are most likely slim to non just because I didn’t graduate from a target school, unless I decide to get an MBA from a target, but do I still stand a chance of breaking into IB in the UK or perhaps in a developed African market for IB like South Africa?
I’m Nigerian, so bear work visa sponsorship in mind. Hope to hear from some of you all soon! Thanks.
