how do u get into it....???

As in how do you start...

I dont hink as of now it is a good option. With all the turmoil which is happening and the 3rd, 4th,5th largest investment banks of US going to dust, its better off to stay away as of now. Probably u can try ur hands on international commercial banks like Barclays or duestche bank.

How is investment banking a good option for CA ? I mean to say investment banking is related to investments, securities and so on but CA is mainly concerned with accounting,book keeping and tax, audit ans soon. So could some one tell me how is investment banking good option?

Maya Ma'am. Just go thro the MAFA/ Strategic Financial Management, in the CA Final curriculum. This paper has no connection with a/c, audit, law or tax. its abt hedging, risk planning, portfolio mgt etc.

But in my opinion, an additional CFA and FRM really helps...
