In Reply To: Hi gastrader, Thanks a lot for all the help you have given me so far. I was hoping to pick your brain once again. I do not have any city contacts (understandable since I'm coming from a medical background). What do you think is the best way for me to network and approach people in IB and healthcare/life science PE/VC. Alot of people at PE and VC (Managing directors, etc) have their e-mail addresses on company websites. Should I e-mail then and tell them I'm a medical doctor looking to enter IB/PE/VC (Should I attach my CV). Or would it be better to stick with HR and contact them. What do you think. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks once again.
Message: Contact them directly (NOT HR). Instead of a CV just explain your medical experience and education how your knowledge will add value to the firm. Also, you should contact Zaki Ahmed, he's a City recruiter that should be able to help you (he's placed a couple people into pharmaceutical equity research positions). His contact info: zaki.ahmed@oxbridge-group.com or 020 7812 6890.
