Hey. I am currently studying Finance in a local private uni. As compared to graduates from overseas ranked uni, is it possible for the graduates from local private uni with CFA level 1 to secure an IB job in Msia?

QUOTE(kinwing @ Feb 19 2013, 11:56 AM) No need to have CFA Level 1. When I was a fresh uni graduate and secured my 1st job in an IB at KL, I did not pass CFA Level 1 yet. Where did you graduate from? Please dont tell me you graduated from those top ranked overseas uni. I saw from other posts that, you need to have experience from legal or accounting firms before the IB will take you.

QUOTE(IBank BeanBag @ Feb 19 2013, 12:22 PM) entirely possible. We have hired local grad from LYN and currently performing very well within the department. Nonetheless, top graduates from local private uni, FYI. Would love to see the CV. TQ. What do you mean by LYN? and i heard that the barrier of entrance to IB is very high and competitive. What do you is an "easier" way to enter the IB? I am willing to work long hours, speak fluent english and as i said, i am currently persuing a Finance degree. What do i now to increase my chance of getting into IB? What exactly are IB looking from us as a fresh grad? TQ in advance

QUOTE(kinwing @ Feb 19 2013, 03:42 PM) You want to work at IB, but IB so big and many departments, even tea ladies and cleaners are part of the workers of IB. Which one you want to be in? I am interested in CF, trading and M&A. Would u kindly describe the environment of these parts of IB and which has the lowest barrier of entry? Btw, I love challenges and willing to fully commit to the job. And, I also worry that it is hard for grad from local uni to enter IB, since the job market is so competitive, and there are so many grads from overseas competing for the positions.

QUOTE(goldconnection @ Feb 19 2013, 06:45 PM) You're still studying, why not you try to do internship first? Then only decide which department you wanna go. Dear goldconnection, Do you have any info about internship in IB? I've checked the websites of many banks, they only offer internships to commercial banking. I am planning to do my internship by the end of this year, it would be 3 months. Or, do i need connections, even for internship? Please advise. TQVM.
