Why Banking Question: From Asset Management To Investment Banking
Hi everyone,
I am currently a masters in finance student at London Business School. The masters in finance (MiF) is seen as an MBA equivalent in London. Prior to the MiF, I worked for 4 years as a global long/short equity analyst. The fund I worked at is a boutique manager situated in South Africa and has $1bn in AUM. Now I'm thinking to change my career to Investment Banking after MiF.
I am finding it hard to convince Investment Banking interviewers on the "why banking" question. I know many of the bankers question why given I am coming from the buy-side and the general move is from sell-side to buy-side. I personally find the aspect of working on deals interesting as the deal analysis typically allows you to go far deeper than stock picking usually does. I find stock picking can be more of an "inch deep an a mile wide" type profession whereas I am looking to go more in-depth.
Can you guys help me to structure a better answer on this?
Thanks
