Off-cycle IB – non-traditional master's, looking for honest advice
I'll keep this short. I'm finishing up a master's of accounting at a top business school and currently working at a small L/S equity fund through a very competitive program my school's MBA has (1/30 students selected). Spending most of my time in models, filings, and single-name research. Strong GPA, CFA L1 candidate, former college athlete.
I want to break into IB but I'm late and my program doesn't have a traditional banking pipeline. I've been networking but struggling to convert outreach into actual conversations. I think the issue is people don't know what box to put me in because I'm not a traditional MBA candidate but I'm also not just an accounting student.
For anyone who's been in a similar spot or has a view on this, any advice or any angles I might not be thinking of?
Appreciate it.
With an MSAcc, you would be looking at IB analyst roles. You really just need to dial for dollars and go after regional firms as needed and not just the BB banks. I would just start cold emailing 50 places a day that do sell-side advisory until something clicks.
CFA L1 candidate lmao
