Do you need a Series 7 as a Investment Banker?
I'm in a internship in a Investment banking firm and my boss tells me that i need to first get clients so i am cold calling. What do you guys have to say about that? i really thought i was going to do analysts work like you know at merril or ubs, but i am cold calling so is what he said something that is true?

I think you're working in brokerage, if you see the words "JT Marlin" written on your building, my advice is to get out of there as fast as you can.
Now they do work on Spacs,Pipes,Private Placement. All which are Alternative Investments
Yea, I would bring my running shoes to work if I were you
Well it's a Internship for 6 months so..... And i am still in college, once done i'll leave 4 months left right? gets some letter of recommendations from them and the hedge fund manager. Good game plan right?
You know that's always been the secret behind Goldman Sachs. They have a team of a 100,000 Indian call-center workers in the basement of their NY headquarters cold-calling the entire Fortune 500 for advisory work. The exit opps of GS Telemarketing are excellent, so don't worry, you're getting great experience.
Ha. that's hilarious.
I bet these guys target mostly penny stocks i.e. pink sheet and OTC BB companies right ?
Don't worry, it's just a summer gig, don't do it for more than a couple of months though. It's a financial chop-shop.
I just re-read what I wrote, sorry I was being a complete dick...I just couldn't help myself
hilarious...and likely true!
I think OP`s mother tongue is not English... that´s why his sounds like he doesn´t know what he´s talking about.
