Chances for European non-finance double master degree student? CB/GTS/AM
Dear monkeys,
Although I have been following some topics on this forum for a while now, I recently decided to create an account to ask you guys for some help. I am studying two masters (LLM & Msc) at a university in continental Northwestern Europe with a good reputation for their MBA and Economics/finance education. However, two years ago I decided to study the LLM (specialised in financial sector/corporate law) and the Msc (general public management) instead of studying economics/finance. The masters included some simple M&A, basic corporate valuation (Principles of CF, Brealey) and financial management. I hope to finish both the masters soon by finishing the two theses (both related to the financial sector) within 6 six months.
Recently I decided I wanted to pursue a career in international banking. My aim is a front office, relationship management-ish and not too much quantative job where I can sell/provide financial services to big corporates/governments/financial institutions, preferably at a bulge bracket. I don't think IB is an option because of the heavy competition. Besides, that much financial modelling is not really my ambition. My network within BB's is zero. I don't really care about the location, but New York City or London would be nice ofcourse. I have seen some job openings which could maybe be a fit, including Global Corporate Banking analyst, Global transaction services/banking analyst or Asset/Investment management analyst.
What do you guys think about these jobs considering my profile? Did I miss some possible fits? Do you think I have a chance at anything like this? Is an internship at a BB necessary? Your honest opinions and advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
