Hello,
I am a consulting analyst who would like to become an investment banking analyst. I have seen a lot of positions requiring candidates with 1-3 years experiences in IB. I have the skills to do the job requirements but have not got the opportunity to get an interview. Anyone who has been in the industry would like to share some tips or share the type of skills that will stand out when getting screened by HR for the first interview, please let me know. I just need 10 minutes of your time.

Thank you for all the inputs.

To the BCG associate who did shed some lights on my career projections, thank you, thank you! I know you are no longer with BCG but I hope my appreciative thoughts come to you through the thin air.

Thank you for the insights. I appreciate it😊

You could write in the resume header “investment banking analyst, Goldman, jpm” then white it out. I haven’t done this but others has and it works in getting past robot screens

👍🏻

What’s your experience, all about how you spin it

I work in consulting so I cannot say I have investment banking experience on my resume. But I have studied financial modeling and valuations and am confident in selling it. The problem is I cannot get pass the HR door to have an interview to sell myself. 🥲

I interviewed for a job a month ago. A few weeks after the interview, I was told my feedback was good, but the company was evaluating all positions at the company at this time.

Our internal recruiter reached out to me asking about my LinkedIn connection who is a friend.
