Hi, I'm a recent graduate with a business degree. Like all young people, of course I would want to try breaking into investment banking. Yes, I do realise high pay comes with long working hours but still would like to try it.

However, I realise that, me being a graduate, although from a foreign university, it is not the world's top universities and without a CFA, it is extremely hard for me to get into this industry.

Some people recommended me in trying to get a job as a processing officer in a bank then move into investment banks as credit analyst. Some recommended me working for a smaller investment firms first.

I just would like to know the opinion of fellow brothers in this forum on how should I get a job in investment banking.
