Hi guys. I have a couple of questions for you experienced monkeys.
I will be joining a boutique in January upon graduation. Obviously, I'm not going to have any formal training but I'd like to be as prepared as possible.
So my question is: are there any training programs out there worth attending? I just want to make sure that I start off on the best foot possible. I can't say that my super non-target helped much with this part, but I have a few internships under my belt so I understand the basics...
Also, are there any licenses that I should get or need to get as a first-year analyst? This is fuzzy for me because I've been told both yes and no.
Thanks!
No they will train. Or at least should pay for training. I wouldn't really do stuff like Training the Street unless a firm required and also paid for it.
Your boutique should pay (or you should ask) for you to attend Training the Street, ideally the 8-10 week version and not the abbreviated 1-2 week version. If they're not willing to provide basic training, which frankly they should view as an investment rather than a cost, you may want to seriously consider lateraling as soon as possible.
That said, between WSO guides, Macabacus templates, etc, you should be able to start rebuilding other models that will indefinitely help you on your job day to day.
Is this training program worth it? (Originally Posted: 09/22/2014)
Recently stumbled into a training program based out of London called Global Banking Training. Does anyone have any experience with anyone who has been through this program? Its really pricey and I am wondering if it is worth it. I can't post the link due to being a new user but if you just google "Global Investment Banking Training" it should be one of the first results.
bump can anyone give me some advice?
Why do you want to do this? Telling a prospective employer you completed the "Investment Banking Course" and the "Global Investment Banking Training Institute" will get you a laugh in the face. Do you need the Visa? All of this stuff you can teach yourself with some discipline.
