Investment Bankers

Participate in information interviews with investment bankers. Your business teacher or a school counselor can help arrange interviews. Ask these and other questions:

• What do you like most and least about your career?
• What’s the best way to land a job in investment banking?
• How are job duties changing for investment bankers, and what can I do in college to prepare for these changes? 

Join school finance and business clubs to learn about business concepts, and become a member of the speech team to develop your communication skills. Visit the Web sites of major investment banks to learn more about career paths, internships, analyst training programs, and the interview process. Goldman Sachs offers a particularly useful Web site, https://www.goldmansachs.com/careers, where you can read a career blog and learn about exploratory programs and internships.
