Investment Banking UK - Unusual background
Hi everyone!
I'm brazilian, and really interested in breaking into investment banking in UK, but because of my unusual background I'm having a hard time trying to find out the best way to do that.
My background:
- Graduated in a target Business School in Brazil
- 4 years of Full-Time experience in Structured Finance (specially Securitization and Real Estate Project Finance) in an important local boutique (worked in some big deals, begin to end)
- Just passed CFA Level I exam
- European citizenship
Trying to choose between:
A) Move to London and try to break in with some help of connections I have there (some few friends working there as analysts/associates)
B) Applying to a Masters in Finance in a target school in Europe or US (Stockholm School of Economics is a good choice because it's almost free for EU citizens an seems to have good placement for London jobs)
C) Applying to a Full-Time MBA in a target school in Europe or US
It would be nice staying in Structured Finance/Project Finance because of my previous experience, but I am considering any IB jobs, or even something on the buy side (structured finance products investors).
It's important to consider that unfortunately I'm almost 100% iliquid (I made some RE investments last year, but right now the market is horrible to sell), so if a choose for a master the SSE program would be the best option.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me!!
Thanks!
don't waste ur money on a Master if u intend to do 1. an MBA later on 2. Have connections at ur target banks that can land u a job without having to do further studies...
You'll have to take the GMAT if you want to apply to SSE.
Yeah, I know that, I'm already studying for it.
