Breaking in with a science background
Hello WSO!
I am hoping I can get some advice from you all. I am in my senior year at a very well recognized school in Canada. I completed a science degree with a minor in commerce. I decided this past summer that finance would be the best option for me, and I am planning on taking my CFA L1 in June. Since deciding to pursue finance, I have been trying to self-study and keep up with the markets. In addition, I joined the finance club, took a financial modeling course, and I have been reading Investment Baking by Rosenbaum.
I am really aiming to get my foot in the door, but I don't feel like I have the experience to even get an interview as I do not have a finance degree, or any experience working at a bank. My question is: how can I position myself so that banks consider me for an interview (considering my background)?
So why do you think finance is for you? as for your other questions attend networking events and talk with professors who teach finance/investment classes and tell them you'd like to get an internship or whatnot. If that doesn't work out,try to get into a good MSF program.
