Anyone can give me career advise for investment banking?

am just 25, holding two master degree (finance and trade), my career goal is investment banking. am doing my second degree (trade) thesis now, and already started as a finance assistant in a firm, i want to jump into investment banking industry, but all banks 2005 recurting programs are closed, what should i do? i realy want to get started now. do i have some alternative way to get into the industry?

I was an investment banking analyst and associate 5 years ago. Your background seems to be fairly quantitative, which is good for both investment banking and trading. I'm assuming you know the difference, and are interested in either corporate finance or M&A of an investment bank. If so, you need to be prepared to work 80 to 100 hours per week, as those are the typical work weeks for a banker (of course, they also get paid a lot more than anyone else).

Even though the recruiting programs are officially over, you should still send your resumes to the recruiters or anyone you know at as many banks as you can. You should especially send them to the smaller, boutique banks, as they tend to recruit later than the bulge bracket banks. I suggest getting into a smaller bank first to get the experience, then later on transfer to a larger bank (if that is what you are striving for). It's always easier to get into a boutique bank than a bulge bracket bank.

Good luck!
