After 1 brazillion...
...meetings with 1st years researching jobs, I thought I'd post my spiel:
Over the summer I worked in an investment banking field called structured finance...which is different from structuring derivatives
- precisely 60% modelling / 40% meetings, research, etc.
- some client interaction because group originates deals
- good hours (8a-7p, 5x/wk)
- travel about once a month, global group so who knows where
- associate pay (1st yr) is nearly identical at all global banks
- interview q's about motivation for banking/group and cv
Good luck! You're gonna need it.
