Need Advice to go from Canada to NYC (heres my short story)
Hey guys,
Im graduating in 2022 at a target University (3.75 GPA) and in the Winter I am working at a IB boutique shop (Non-elite) and in the summer I will be working at an elite PE shop.
My long-term objective: PE in NYC
I have a rough idea of what sort of path I should take to accomplish this long-term objective, let me know what you think please.
1) Full-Time IB at Elite Boutique or Big Bank in TO (4-6 yrs) -> IB NYC -> PE NYC 2) Elite Boutique or Big Bank IB Internship next summer -> Take a shot at a NYC internship -> secure offer
Plan 1 seems more reasonable and realistic, however, what do you guys think the most optimal approach is? Feel free to add in an option.
If you do everything right (study well, start meeting HHs early), you should be able to go from an American bank in Toronto (GS, MS, Evercore) directly to PE in NYC after 2 years. It's going to be a battle but the Western / Queens kids at in Toronto at Tier 1s actually do quite well in on-cycle.
I don’t mind the battle.
Would you approach it differently if getting into an American bank in TO was not possible (say i.e. RBC, BMO, Canaccord)?
I’ve seen a lot of people transition from RBC and BMO to PE in New York. Not too sure about Canaccord. I know it’s a good shop in Toronto but not too sure how it stacks up for PE recruitment.
Just to clarify. Are you going to a target school in Canada or in the United States?
For NYC standards, no Canadian university is a target. I'm also confused OP.
