Hi everyone,
I have 1.5 years of experience working for an MBB consulting firm in the Middle East as an analyst. I want to pivot to Investment Banking.
Is a lateral move from consulting to IB possible, or do I need to do an MBA first? If lateral move possible, would I join as an Analyst or Associate?
Although currently in Dubai, I am open to doing IB in London or NYC, if possible.
