Accounting experience. Anything in the financial analysis area, mergers and acquisitions, and buy-side + sell-side research. Those are some of the areas I would focus on to build a good resume for investment banking.

This is super helpful. Thank you for this info!

I would also focus on gaining internship experience within investment banking and even better the specific area you are interested in. Also can help with networking to join any relevant clubs or orgs for finance at your school.

Specific area like tech or oil and gas, etc?

I'd agree with the first comment. You should get accounting experience. Or at least a degree on business administration, finance or accounting.

I lost a baby at full term pregnancy (no genetic cause) and we are ready to plan for a second one. I am wanting to go through IVF because the genetic testing would rule out any bad surprises that could come later and also my husband and me are carriers for AMD. I am lost where to even start from. Would I need a referral for IVF? Will I be paying all the cost? My husband’s company has a plan but I don’t know if we would need to qualify?
