feynman's comments were correct about the investment banks. Investment banks like GS, morgan stanley, Merill lynch, UBS, Credit Suisse, BarCap, JP morgan and even the smaller boutique investment banks like Lazard are highly selective in choosing fresh graduates. Firstly, you need to have a 2:1 and above results from a reputable universities, oxbridge, LSE or imperial grads are preferred but all candidates who compete with you would be from these unis too. Secondly, they highly prefer candidates with an internship in IB. I previously had interviews with two of the BB and I was rejected in the end . They pay 60,000 USD per annum salary + housing allowances + bonus. But, be ready with 80 to 120 hours of working hours per week.

And in Malaysia, the biggest investment banks are CIMB investment bank, Aminvestment banks, ecm libra avenue, aseam bankers, rhb investment bank, kenanga, osk etc. There are many more. And PLEASE do not expect that malaysia investment banks pay alot to freshies. They dont. In fact, the commercial banks like HSBC and Standard charted pay better starting salary. We are talking about a difference of around 500 to 1k. However, the investment banks in Malaysia pay very very good bonuses. When I was in cimb, bonuses are counted practically in years if you are in the front office role.
