Here are suggestions for reaching the top of the investment banking field.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
✅Getting a college degree from a top school, with a major in finance, economics or something related to business is preferable.
✅Getting an MBA or some other advanced degree or certification in finance will give you an edge over other candidates.
✅Getting an internship at a top firm is critical for gaining exposure to the culture, on-the-job-training, a chance to impress potential employers, and networking.
