Hi, I don’t know too much about investment baking but I have a few friends in it who have piqued my interest. However, right now I am doing more technical work involving Alteryx, Tableau, SQL, and etc. Are there investment banking related roles that involve more technical stuff?

Investment banking is a very technical role already although not from a coding standpoint

yes, I’m sure it’s technical! I was just trying to see if there was a related field with my skills so I could easily transition there. I don’t really have enough direct experience to actually be in IB in my opinion

Check out some videos/articles on financial modeling, projections, and analysis. If this is something you’re familiar with, you’ve got a decent start.

Interesting! I think I’ve done some in the past, like helping out with CCAR (Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review), but i’ll look more into what you mentioned thanks!

We don’t really use those tools. It’s all excel based financial modeling
