HOW TO MAKE IT TO AN INVESTMENT BANK IN WALL STREET IF YOU ARE FROM INDIA ?

HI GUYS I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER IN MY FINAL YEAR .I HAVE NO INTERNSHIPS IN ANY INVESTMENT BANK . MOST OF THE ADVICE FOR BREAKING INTO INVESTMENT BANKING GIVEN IN THIS WEBSITE APPLIES TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE EITHER COMPLETED OR PURSUING THEIR STUDIES IN USA.I WILL PASS OUT FROM MY ENGG. COLLEGE IN 2016 FROM INDIA.WHAT SHOULD I DO TO LAND A JOB OF AN ANALYST IN AN INVESTMENT BANK IN WALL STREET IF I HAVE NO CONTACTS IN AMERICA OR ANY FINANCE EXPERIENCE.HOW DO I KNOW ABOUT THE VACANCIES? APPLY FOR JOBS?ANY ADVICE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED AS I DO NOT REALLY KNOW ANYONE WHOM I COULD CONSULT WITH.PLEASE BE VERY SPECIFIC WITH YOUR ANSWERS AS THEY WILL SERVE AS A GUIDE FOR ME TO FOLLOW.

 

Why not ibanking in India and eventually get your masters in finance from a university in the US and hope that some bank will hire you. Why do you want to do banking with your degree in mechanical engineering why does it have to be Wall Street? How did you find out about this website?

 

Yea may need some transition...I mean an IB would probably see a guy from India who majored in mechanical engineering and say why would he want to work here...his degree is in mechanical engineering. They may just think you are applying everywhere. I personally think maybe get into Princeton or Vanderbilts Master of Finance class could strengthen your chances. Or even working in banking a couple years in india then getting an mba in america at a top school.
