IB SA to FT AM - Advice?
Hi guys, recently finished my SA stint in IB. Great experience, but the nature of the work and hours made me rethink the career path I want to take for the next few years of my life. Would much rather have better WLB than sweat IB type hours in a city I don't enjoy living in. Relative pay cut isn't such a huge factor (shocking I know).
Wondering if anyone has any advice for leveraging an IB internship when recruiting for grad roles in asset management?
Following - in a similar position so I’d love to hear any advice y’all have.
It’ll be difficult, very difficult, most the people I see that got a FT AM position at another firm done another AM internship at another firm, never really seen IBSA->AMFT. So what I will say is apply for internships and tailor your CV
Thank you, that's helpful. So even though I am about to be in final year of studies, you would say it is better to apply for internships with asset managers rather than go straight for FT roles?
Unless you plan on delaying graduation, you aren’t eligible for summer internships anymore. My advice would be to network, network, and network. Also know your story / reason as to why the switch
