Re: How To Become Investment Banker
As you want to be an investment banker, I am giving you some information about it, check below for the details An investment banker works with these entities to underwrite, or find buyers for, securities like bonds or stock to raise the capital the organization needs. Investment bankers come from a variety of backgrounds, but a strong foundation in mathematics is important. Prospective investment bankers may have bachelor’s degrees in finance, accounting, or mathematics, for example, but may come from other fields like computer science or physics as well. While entry-level investment banking analyst positions require only a bachelor’s degree, many investment bankers pursue graduate degrees. Master of Business Administration degrees (MBAs) are most common among investment bankers, but other graduate degrees, like law degrees, can be useful as well. Many schools offer graduate programs in financial mathematics, and a master’s degree in this field can also be valuable for investment bankers. Investment bankers must register as a representative of their bank with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Depending on their job responsibilities, investment bankers must pass an examination on a specific “series” in order to qualify for registration. Investment bankers can also pursue voluntary certifications like the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential offered by the CFA Institute. One can become an investment banking analyst directly after earning a bachelor’s degree, but it can take two or more years of working experience plus a graduate degree to advance to associate status at an investment bank. |
