Qualifications for IBD Analyst Positions

Hi everyone, looking for some insight.

Currently, I am not in IB but want to make that step going forward. Many of the companies I wish to apply to state in their qualifications that they require "1-2 years investment banking experience." I have relevant financial services experience, including experience with excel and common financial tools (I also am a CFA candidate), but I do not have any IB experience. Does this matter and should I be applying to the jobs anyway, or does this literally mean that this company does not hire experienced hires that have no experience in IB for that position?

Thanks for your help!

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“John is very kind and pleasant to talk with. He makes the student feel very at ease and encourages them to ask questions and to not hesitate if there is anything else he can help with, even if it is not directly related to the purpose of the scheduled session. He is very knowledgeable, communicates very well, gives clear actionable takeaways, and is very easy to schedule. ”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Julius has continued to go above and beyond each time I have a session with him. I have had 20+ sessions since joining the Academy and he is always willing to push your knowledge, put you in situation where you feel pressure and provides a calmness and will help you think through the situation. Like for today's mock he had built out a modeling test (LBO), something I had never done before, he pushes your knowledge while working through it and then provides great explanations on anything you may have missed at the end. I feel like he's provided me with the most valuable feedback and continues to will help anyone who is hungry to learn and expand their knowledge. Truley a great mentor!”
