I am ACCA part 2 student & I was always thinking to enter the investment banking industry & go for CFA ultimately.
Well, I want to ask some questions?
You said avoid banking except corporate planning. Does investment banking includes in the list of avoidance? I mean its a sort of different banking.
Secondly, getting into a good institution is really important in investmenet banking. I want to ask that would there be any chances of breaking into an entry level job in investment banking if I apply on the basis of my BSc Hons from Oxford brookes (thru ACCA) & then later on Associate membership of of Securities & Investment Institute UK (thru ACCA affiliate status; ofcourse) & ACCA affiliate status?
Would be there any chances?
Because doing CFA is not the only requirement but getting into the profession is also of basic importance.
Can you guide guide me how to enter the profession? Will I be able to do it on the basis of my ACCA & its by qualifications (BSc, SII membership)?
Thanks
