Hi all,
I am a final year graduate student at a top MSFE program in the States. I am wondering if it is possible to transition to a client-facing capital markets role, and am looking for advice to do so.
Background
Undergrad - Engineering at a Top 10 program from the US
Work Ex - over 1.5 years worth of internships in manufacturing (think TSLA GOOG SPACEX), R&D, academia; worked in Europe as well. My finance experiences are limited to in-class projects, projects I have undertaken on my own time and a project with a fund manager undertaken for school credit
Leadership and Extra-curriculars - active member of engineering student club, student orientation leader, mentor to international students, co-Founder of Finance Club in grad program
GPA - 3.7+ in both undergrad and masters
Visa Status - F1 (Canadian resident)
Strategy
Short term / reach: Corporate Banking, M&A, Financing, Strategy / Management Consulting
Long term / dream: IB / PE / VC (perhaps after an MBA at a top program)
Please let me know if this is feasible and if it is a sensible strategy, or if I should stick to Quant. I welcome your suggestions and constructive feedback.
Cheers!
