@ashmole2009 : how about getting a masters n finance from an ivy league college ???

Much better option. Whilst International students find it tougher to get jobs abroad, statistically you are more likely to get a FO job in the UK/US than in India due to number of FO jobs and barrier to entry, India being far more selective due to the population of nerds + smaller finance industry.
Economics graduate, working in IB since graduation.
@ashmole2009 so you feel a ms in finance (ivy league or so )is a much better option the mba finance (from colleges like i mentioned) to get into i banking sector

Honestly an MBA from SIIB is not worth it. You need a brand name to get into FO. An MBA or MSF will serve that purpose abroad.
Just look at the raw numbers of people getting into FO IB in India and abroad.
@ashmole2009 : i completely understand your point ... thnk u sooo much !!!
@guddulovesgudia Yes definitely. If you can get into corporate finance or equity research roles and perform well in that job, then definitely you have a shot at an I bank. But do the following:

1. Get into a job which gives you good exposure to finance. Take up additional responsibilities. Trust me. Every company loves people who take up additional challenges.

2.Clear first two levels of CFA. The economic value add for CFA might be minimal. But i totally vouch for the fact that the knowledge which CFA gives is excellent.

3.Knowledge and good work experience should go hand in hand. Try networking through linkedin/seniors/friends.

Hi all

I am working on a CITIBANK case study which relates to devising strategies to improve and penetrate the credit card usage and reward system in India. I have prepared a survey for the same. It would be very helpful if the current credit card users could give your feedback. I am part of S.P.Jain Institute of management and Research, Mumbai.

It is an OBJECTIVE TYPE form and will only take 2 min of your time.

This opportunity is huge and your response would be of great help!

Hi, I'm a final year student at IIT. I'll graduate in July'14 and have a job with an analytics firm. I have a strong resume, with an internship in a bulge bracket Investment Bank, and 2 in boutique trading firms. I want a job in an IB in the US or UK. How do i apply?


I applied through the websites of these IBs but the response hasn't been as positive as I expected

  • do an MBA
  • look for a job abroad, and then switch
  • Reach out to such bankers on linkedIn
  • get some work exp
  • keep applying through their websites
