You have to understand the prase IB is loosely thrown by everyone. Anyone who works for an investment bank considers themselves and investment banker, including the ops people! I do credit risk controlling. I look at exposres and positions the banks take with customers on genral banking products as well as positions in the market place with derivatives and securities and help asses the credit/issuer/country risk involved holding these instruments and make sure they are properly reflected in the financial statments. Its good I learn more about banking products and derivatives and you get into a large bank wher possiblities are endless.
To get into the big 5, I would just use headhunters and find partner names, send resumees directly to partners. Its always best to try and apply directly to the person you would be working for or hiring you. That how I got in, but I also got in at a very different time (90's stock bubble, no Enron/Worldcomm/Adelphia/AOL TIme Warner) |

Thnx for the advice nyc!
I'll keep "drilling" those guys from Big Six. As this is kind of a ticket to break into a pretty good school later as well.
And about Enron/Adelphia.. you're right.
Now SEC is trying to hit PWC because of its audits in ...... Tyco International. It wouldn't be a surprise for me to learn later that PWC is under serious probe.......
