Need help in deciding how to break into IB
Hello all,
I am currently a undergrad student as a finance major and math minor (3.8 GPA) at Baruch College (NY, non-target) and plan on breaking into IB. Unfortunately I transferred into this school pretty late and needed summer classes to graduate on time therefore I couldn't apply to internships in investment banking. Although I have worked as a project manager for a contracting company for about 5+ years (family business), I do not have anything related to the field of IB, yet. Right now I only have 2 classes to graduate which has put me in a tight situation.
I currently have 3 options:
- Delay graduation to Fall 2021 (instead of Summer 2021) in hopes of gaining experience in the summer through smaller banks, assuming there is any offering internships this late.
- Get into a Masters of Finance program and gain experience during the summers of those 2 years.
- Get into an MBA program and break into IB as an associate while gaining experience in the summers of the program. (Some schools such as NYU Stern don't require work experience for admittance)
Which of these do you think is the best route for me to break into Investment Banking?
