Intro to WSO from NYU Shanghai student

Hi WSO academy,

I am in my 2nd year at NYU Shanghai. I am trying to break into investment banking (M&A or GCM). I am aware that it is really hard to find an internship but I am trying my best. I will be spending next academic year at Stern and will be connecting with a lot of industry profs there but I am actually looking into opportunities in UAE for IB at BB or EB and later move into US region. 
Any insights about UAE IB recruitment and the financial services industry? would love to hear more about that.
