Crash Course in Investment Banking Workshop

Are you interested in working in the investment banking or consulting fields?

Come to our Crash Course in Investment Banking and Consulting workshop to make sure you’re ready to apply for these highly competitive careers.

Most investment banks and some consulting firms recruit for their full-time positions only once a year, between mid-August and early September. So, if you are graduating in December 2015 or May 2016, you will need to apply soon. With that in mind, our goal is to help you gain a glimpse into consulting and investment banking careers and to learn what you can do to prepare.

Our workshop goals include:

  • Industry – gaining a better understanding of what analysts and consultants do
  • Timing – planning the most effective time to start your search
  • Resources – finding job postings and other related resources
  • The Process – preparing for and submitting a strong application
