1. 그래서 금융공학을 전공하면 Master in Finance보다 취업하는데 도움이 많이 될까요?
– No. Unless you want to be a quant.
2. 탑스쿨 나와도 외국인 신분으로서 IBD로 프론트나 좋은 포지션 가기는 힘들다고 들었는데 공학을 전공하면 그나마 가능성이 있을까요?
– Lloyd Blankfein is a history major. IBD doesn’t care what you major in – they just want to see two things. 1, are you smart? 2, can you grind through tough hours in banking? That’s it.
3. IB, HF, PE 상관 없이 어떤 뱅킹이라도 하는 것이 목표인데 어떤 부분이 가장 크게 작용이 될까요?
– First off, its very difficult to get to HFs and PEs w/o IB experience. Refer back to 2 for what qualities they’re looking for in candidates. Getting into an IB is much easier in the so-called “target schools” because of OCR, but it’s still doable even if you’re not a target: just gotta get good grades, have relevant internships, and network. But since you’re out of school already, you should perhaps consider MFin – or find out if your parents can pull some strings.
그리고 IBD쪽 비전이 많이 없다고 들었는데 전산화가 되서 채용인원이 줄어들고 있는건가요?
– As of now, no. Maybe in the distant future they’ll have smaller analyst classes, but that’s really not something you should be concerned about. As for the “future” of IB, remember that its a people business – as you move up in a bank, its less about doing models, and more about having good relationships with clients and sourcing deals. So no, computers will not replace bankers.
P.S.
From your questions I’m getting the impression that you don’t really have a good idea of what banking is. Before you even consider banking, I suggest you get some research done on your own.
