Are you looking to get into IB or recruit other IB analysts?

I have a STEM background, and I do consulting primarily for healthcare systems and in the life sciences realm. Im looking into breaking into IB now particularly within biotech/Healthcare because Ive enjoyed the strategy/innovation work we do as consultants regarding investment opportunities, but I’m interested in getting involved with hands on deal activity and I see that opportunity being more available to entry-level bankers than I’ll ever get in consulting

Do you know anyone in the IB business? Connections and networking.

yes i have a large network in the IB business, definitely will be leaning on my network to get interviews, thanks
