Breaking into Investment Banking in Hong Kong with a Masters degree
Hi everyone,
I'm here to seek advice on the difficulty to break into banking in HK as a Masters degree candidate? I did a dual bachelor's degree program between a non-target and a target(final two years at target). I actually decided on banking pretty late (end of junior year), but I'm very certain now that I want to pursue it no matter how long it takes. I have a 3.9 GPA at the target and did a couple of finance-related internships in the past Big 4 M&A in Shanghai, capital markets in Beijing, and PE in Boston. I'm currently a senior at the target but applied for junior internships in HK assuming I'll delay half a semester. I got around 10 first round interviews and 3 Superdays, but dinged all of them. I don't have any more banking interviews with large banks and would probably work in a Boutique in NY for this summer. I'm still very passionate about banking and I plan to do a Master in Finance (MIT or Oxford) and reapply for SA in HK with better preparation. What are my chances? How difficult would it be to apply as a Masters degree student?
I would really appreciate any comments/advice/suggestions!!
