This class provides an overview and insight into the various divisions that make up a typical bulge bracket or global investment bank. The course covers everything you need to know in order to understand the inner workings of an investment bank and approach your applications and interviews to investment banks with more confidence.
We cover a range of topics including:
- What an investment bank actually is and does
- How an investment bank differs from a high street bank
- Differences between boutique and bulge bracket investment banks
- The front office divisions (investment banking division, sales & trading, asset management, etc.)
- The middle and back office (risk, operations, technology, human resources, finance, legal, etc.)
- 10 common questions
- And so much more!
This course aims to be easy to understand and focuses on providing an entry level understanding to each division without overwhelming the viewer with too much information. As such, this course is for all levels regardless of academic or work experience.
Upon completion of this course, your understanding will allow you to discuss and explain the differences between divisions at length, each divisions’ function within the investment bank, and how the different divisions work together in order to help the investment bank succeed as a unit.
You’ll also be comfortable talking about, and explaining, why you’re interested in any given division whilst also being able to apply to such divisions and roles with confidence regardless of your current situation, background, experience or knowledge level. This will be vital for increasing your chances of success when applying for internships or full-time roles as well as in interviews.
