How I Broke into Investment Banking M&A as a Non-Target...
Relevant experience
I remember seeing most in investment banking went to target schools
They may have had the right school & connections
Yet, had little relevant work experience
However, I found a gap and found that possessed minimal work experience
My competitive advantage was to outperform them with my professional experience
Eventually, I stacked up 4 finance internships
Allowed me to break into investment banking M&A at a bulge bracket
Without having to network
