Hi all, am wondering how chartered accounting qualifications are viewed in IB? I’m in a role at the moment that is putting me through the ACCA (UK) qualification. Is it worth waiting the 3 years to complete this before applying to entry level IB roles or does it not carry much weight? Thanks

In general these sorts of certifications aren’t important in IB. Most people I know / work with have none (a few CFAs here and there and once in a while you’ll find someone with a CPA). That being said, it doesn’t hurt, just not worth the effort most of the time

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
