Hey monkeys!
I am currently an intern in the business development department of a big tech company.
I was wondering if and how such an experience could help me breaking into IB.
Is it in any way transferable or of interest to banks? How would you sell it in your CV/interview?
Many thanks everyone!!

Someone in tech trying to go into IB? Is this a parallel universe?
ahahah pardon moi
Make sure it is BD/Partnerships and not sales. BD/Partnerships has many parallels with senior level banker responsibilities with respect to winning mandates. --- My boss was an MD in JPM SF --> Executive VP at my F500 tech company in Business Development.
Still, without Corp Dev xp you might aswell just get an MBA. Because senior level responsibilities barely overlap with junior analyst work.
thankfully I am still an undergrad. Still eligible to apply for summers next year. Great answer, I really appreciate your insight. Thank you!
