undergrad sophomore, I have 2 buy side internships on my resume rn and am recruiting for IBD 2024. I've been trying to craft for my story for interviews but don't really know how to explain why I want to start my career in ibd rather than continuing with buy sid
any suggestions for valid interview-appropriate reasons to go from buy-side -> investment bank?
