Nontraditional paths to IB in Toronto

Looking to break into IB in Toronto and I graduated UG a long time ago.

Have experience in commercial banking and asset management. Looking for some alternative ways to break in without B-School.

Any advice from some fellow Canucks is appreciated!

"hopelesscanadian" Best bet is just reaching out to school alumni - even if they only did their undergrad at UG - and meet them for coffee. Have some related-sample work you've done with your current job or in your free time to display your interest in IB, rather than just saying you're looking for a job.

your username to thread content ratio right now is amazing.
