Urgent help needed!
Hi all,
I am a qualified accountant in London coming from an audit background. I have a second language from the EMEA region and am trying to break into IB. I’d been messaging a few CF people from the Big 4 on LinkedIn and came across an MD profile in a BB who is a group head and sent him a message. He offered to meet me for a coffee straight away and now I am panicking on how to prepare, what it might cover, etc.
Can anyone help me?
There is a WSO guide on networking which covers informational interviews.
Ask him about his position, what he likes about it, how he got there, any advice he wish he knew earlier on that would have helped him out.
Ok thanks. Is it common for this kind of thing to happen? I'm a bit shocked that someone this senior is willing to meet without even looking at my CV. All I have told him is that I am a qualified accountant from a Top 10 audit background and that I want to use my second language in a job within emerging markets at an IB.
Good luck! Not much advice except act like this isn't your first rodeo!
Thanks - what should my aim of the meeting be? In my original message I told him I was trying to get into IB and asked for some advice or any introductions. At that time I was expecting a few messages or names I could try to get into contact with at most but now that I am meeting him face to face, I want to work for him! Any ideas on how I can obtain this?
good luck
