Hey everyone! I just joined WSO, and I'm looking to break into the investment banking industry. I graduated from college this past May and am completing my MBA (enrolled in 3+1 program), but after my internships at a big 4 accounting firm last summer and at a private equity firm (accounting/investments) currently, I realized that investment banking is the path I want to take. If anyone has advice on where I should be looking to apply/when I should apply/other tips, I'd really appreciate it:)
