It seems everyone doing finance wants to do investment banking (IB).

Interestingly, the investment bankers usually have no specific degree required. They will hire engineers, science majors, medical, all sorts of academic backgrounds.

The common denominator is high achievment and good analytical skills. Often that means maths. And top marks are typically just the starting point for these roles.

If you want to prepare for an investment banking internship interview - subscribing to THE ECONOMIST would be a good start. If you don't know what The Economist magazine is, don't bother applying for IB jobs. As a student you save 80% here: magazines4students.com.au/product.php/1.html
