My BB firm opportunity
I have been out networking a lot and got in contact with a fellow alumni who is a MD at BB firm. After talking in person, email and phone many times, I told him my passion for getting in the investment side of banking and am looking for a full time opportunity. He asked for my resume and the department I was interested in, but with no prior investment banking experience I didn't really know for sure. So, he set me up for some interviews (in 1 month) in Middle Market, Private Bank, PWM and Investment groups at the BB.
I am wondering how to figure out which department I would have an interest in and really with no experience, which department would I have the best bet to start in, then transition if I wanted? Also from what I read there will most likely be technical questions which I haven't had before and how do I prepare? Lastly what on my resume could I leverage to help me?
I am from a non-target in the mid-south; attached is my resume.
Thanks for your help,
Hey man,
I think you need to do more research about an investment bank does first of all. Middle Market is not department within a bank, it describe an Investment bank that provides advisory/financing services to companies with revenues between $100 Million to $1 bill (or something like that, someone can correct this figure). 2nd, none of what you described is what "investment banking" is, all of those are asset management, still front office, nothing wrong with that, but you are not an "investment banker" if you work in PB, PWM, or whatever you meant by investment groups. 3rd) PB is basically a subgroup within PWM.
Actually, Middle Market is an IBD group, just fyi... and Private Banking is vastly different than PWM...
Wait....what? Middle market an IBD group? What bank do you work for? This is not accurate
Dam thats mad cool of the MD to set you with so many interviews. I hope I am just as lucky and the MD's I contacted will pass my resume along.
Can't read the resume, try again to attach it.
I thought PB was basically just managing money for ultra high net worth individuals...
wow this md you contacted is awesome
Dude sounds mad awesome. I wish an MD like that went to school.
out of curiosity, what firm is it? you can PM the firm name to me if you want but I thought most of the BBs were in hiring freezes..
