Assuming u qualify in this attempt(without a rank)

straght away getting into equity research, boutique investment banks (mind it not top tier),kpo etc will for sure require some networking and patience.. dont expect to land up a job at lazard, or morgan stanley....

ur best bet for equity research would be to clear ur cfa l1 as early as possible, and if u want top make it to a top tier IB/PE firm get into a top B-School like iim-a,b,c, ISB, Spjain etc..

the other way around is to get a rank in CA FINALS or at least a 1st attempt clear... this would give a competetive advantage amongst the crowd.....Also looks good on resume.. LOL

all the best

PS: feel free to ask anyhting.....

PEACE

hi members,

I am a CA final student and doing CFA (US).

I want to get into PE or VC fund ultimately and want to use the exit opportunities of Investment banking as a bridge. So, I wans to get into IB after CA with the top BB firms like JP morgan, Glodman Sachs, etc.

I have got ranks in CPT & Inter and doing articleship from Deloitte. Assuming i secure a rank in finals as well and complete CFA L2 by the time i qualify, is it possible to get into such roles ?

Thanking in advance

Hello

I have completed my chartered accountancy in may 2012 (in first attempt) and wish to take up investment banking as my career. My internship

is from a very reputed firm in New Delhi wherein i handled various internal audits.

I don't have any work experience for investment banking as such.

Shall I pursue any further studies for the same like MBA or CFA? What shall be my exact course of action for the same? Also, shall I start my job with the big 4

CA firms for investment banking.

Please help.
