How to break into the finance industry, whatever IBDs or CBs in whatever size, PE, or even financial advisory firms?
Hey guys,
I am a new comer to WSO. I am a Chinese actually, dunno if someone will see this post and kindly offer me some guidance. To tell you the truth, I am about to graduate from an Ivy with a Master degree in Nanotech (about integrated-circuits, MEMS, and yes, your iphone electronic components). Presumably, before I came to the US, I thought being able to study in an Ivy would help me to get into IBDs. But I failed, not even securing an interview with bulge brackets in APAC, let alone the scarce opportunities for boutiques in Asia.
After graduation, I planned to study in an MSc Finance program in the UK. I don't have those star-war-like quant talents so just applied some G5 schools for simply Finance. Being frustrated now, I got no offers from these programs and found myself in a quagmire where windows for entering IBDs or Chinese Securities Firms have been almost shut due to covid. Yeah, f..k covid.
I have a mediocre undergraduate background, not those shining degrees from Tsinghua or Peking university. I had a buy-side equity research internship when I was a junior, even though my background was about materials science. I picked a stock in the semiconductor industry via fundamental analysis and, luckily, its share price sky rocketed in about four months.
Right now, I am eagerly to seek advice from you guys on this true-professional platform. Right after my first sighting of the JPMorgan Shanghai office, I found a new world and became insatiable for my mediocrity at that time. I desire to work for JPM right after I read books about it, which comprehensively described what it had achieved from the beginning to 2008. Maybe, I was illusional and blinded by this wild dream without even carefully building-up technicals or networkings.
Am I still able to get into IBD for whatever sizes, provided that I could go to the UK for a finance master program?
Thank you for your precious time in reading these. I desperately need some guidance or just tell me my endeavors in these are doomed that I could finally discard this dream.
Best,
JyRaven with a FUCK
