What is the best way to get into investment banking?
Asked by boogiebad
I have een working in sales for events and publishing for 5 years and all my mates work in the city fwroking for JP MORGAN, BANK OF AMERICA, ETC ETC. They contastantly lecture me that they are earning the big money and being quite overly condesending, to the point that i am thinking 'I dont have to be lectured, or made to feel like im not earning!' So I want to know what the best route is? My main strength from B2B sales is my research, obviously presenting skills and commercial / market intelligence.

Best Answer:
Not a chance. Would you hire a car salesman to work in your office? You need a finance bank ground (and an investment club will not give it to you). I am betting most of your friends have MBA's or something.
And if they work for JP Morgan (really chase bank, and call it that, it will annoy the heck out of them), ask then why they can't work for one of the big boys (JP has fallen apart since the chase merger, and even more with the other mergers)
A:
You need to have finance/accounting knowledge, not just marketing experience. Go to college and join an investment banking club.
