Introducing myself - 25 year old former engineer
I'm a 25 year old former engineer, and I've recently become very interested in i-banking. I stumbled on this site tonight, and I've amused myself for the past 20 minutes or so. Can someone get into this field without a business degree, or is that required?
you don't need an MBA, but you'd probably have to start as an analyst.
what did you study for undergrad? where did you go? how did you do? what is your threshold for sleep deprivation?
all very important questions that can influence whether you have a shot at getting in and whether you want to.
hopefully that helps...we need a bit more background info. to answer your question, but broadly speaking, no it is NOT required...there were kids in my analyst class from liberal arts colleges that studied History.
I have a BS and MS in computer engineering from UT-Austin, and I finished near the top of my class for both degrees.
I don't sleep much as it is. Too much opportunity missed when you sleep. =)
Where did you take your analyst classes?
"Analyst class" refers to the people that joined the same year as yourself. It's used in the same way as in college when you say "Class of '08", etc.
Your degrees can definitely do for a job in I-banking. You can go for specialized groups within I-banking, taking advantage of your insider knowledge. Get acquainted with the financial markets and the concepts used in i-banking, and start to apply. Good luck!
some engineers do, but it's very difficult. it is much easier if you have a finance/econ/accounting degree.
