Hi everyone. I'm based in London and I'm an incoming IBD intern at a well-respected firm (one tier below BB) that has offices in Europe/US.
Within the next few years, I would love to be able to work in NYC (either in PE or HF) and I was wondering what were the best ways to maximise my chances? Should I be looking to gain a FT position at a BB?
Thanks very much.
