Hey seremify - great thread. Would appreciate your views on my situation. I've graduated with a Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences from USyd. I majored in Government, and had ok marks, nothing special. This was largely because I spent the balance of my time at university developing my career. I now work in a Ministerial office as a policy adviser. I definitely feel that my interest in Government work is waning, and have been accepted into an M Comm (finance) at UNSW which I'll begin in a few weeks.
I'm relatively sure that I have an interest in investment banking, and would be interested in your views on my best approach to break into the industry. Without a commerce undergrad, am I wasting my time going through the regular recruitment process? I feel like I have a lot of the soft skills that would make me suitable for an IB position, and my current job has definitely taught me the work ethic, but that I'd be lacking the hard skills and experience to get me through the standard recruitment process.
Appreciate your advice.
