Looking to move from PB to IB

Hi all,

Figured I would do a re-introduction here as I had to make a new account for the sake of anonymity. I had my other one linked to my Facebook and now that I am looking at making some career changes, I would prefer to be more so anonymous.

Anyways, I currently work in private banking and am looking to move over to investment banking. I interviewed with investment banks coming out of college but didn't land anything. I had two internships in private equity, so the "why investment banking?" question in interviews just killed me. I had a hard time selling companies on why I wanted to do investment banking, and I think it was because I hadn't even sold myself on it.

So I took a job in private banking, thinking it would be good to check out a different area of finance. After nearly a year, it isn't for me. I don't see myself being a long-term private banker. So it's time to make the switch. I've started studying/prepping this weekend and hope to find an opportunity to make the move sometime in 2018.
