I am doing a research internship at a BB in HK. However, I am more interested in IBD (I dont mind the hours). I was wondering 2 things
1 if anyone know any BB (Preferred) that have China practice in the USA that I should look into 2 how difficult would it be for me (decent B-school MBA, average gpa, background etc) for an EQ Research intern to find a full time IBD offer (at preferably a BB). I think my goal is that I want to get into any china practice (but in the USA). Although this is not crucial, I just feel like I prefer the IBD work more. I understand this is all very challenging.Trending Content - Investment Banking Forum

Career Resources
Do you have any IB contacts at your current bank? Have you had any vetting assignments during your internship where you were on calls/meetings with bankers? Probably not long enough to develop any kind of working relationship during an internship, but it would be pretty useful...I know that if I somehow wanted to switch within my first year in ER, the first thing I would do is reach out to them, even if it's just for advice.
Would internship in ER help when applying for IBD internship? (Originally Posted: 08/16/2007)
Like the title says, I'm currently doing a summer internship in the equity research division of a mid-cap NYC boutique; would this help if I ultimately were to apply for an IBD internship at a BB, or should a job with more relevance specifically to IBD be more useful?
what are your other qualifications
I'm a rising sophomore at an Ivy (not HYPW) hovering at 3.63, majoring in econ, so this is pretty much my first ugrad internship. Any suggestions?
Peninhand--- how did you land the internship as a freshman? Connections or cold-calling? Also, when did you apply? Thanks~
Just be prepared when the interviewer asks "Why IBanking and not ER?"
ibhopeful, the internship was listed on my school's career services search. it's not really a well known firm to clear things up
sure it will, that's the point of an internship, to find out what you like and don't like.
you're pretty insecure, aren't you?
i am thinking Spencer Clarke and you go to Columbia.
afraid not, Mr.Determined
