How to get this gig
Hi all,
My undergrad degree was in finance and have worked in a non-proft after graduation. I reevaluted what i want and am ready to make the leap in to finance and IB....how much would taking Wallstreet prep courses and CFA exam help? Is there any chance of successfully making this transition.....i do not have internship or work experience in Finance, did not go to ivy league school?
Help!
Last I checked the search function was working properly. Hit it up and you'll get your answers.
By the look of it, your chances look slim. Go get a top tier MBA then maybe you can break in. Taking the CFA will help you in the long run but won't help much in Investment Banking.
I apologize in advance for the responses you're about to receive. That being said, you can forget about the CFA.
Personally, I would continue to pick up work experience and try to go to a target Business School. Probably your best bet.
Thanks guys!
@rmahal...that was very informative. I know this will be real tough...since i do not have the network or work experience. What about enrolling in grad school certificate courses like this?

Does anyone know how helpful these are?
^up
so should i just give up? I need insight please
How much work experience do you have? If less than one, you could look to re-brand yourself via msf/mms programs in the US. Your best bet though would be to network your ass off, because going back to school is an expensive endeavor. I would also forget about the CFA if your goal is IB.
Try to get an internship if you can, study for the gmat if things don't work out, and see where you stand. Send me a PM if you have some questions.
