<p>We're doing a career project at my school and part of it is to interview someone. We took a career test and one of the results was an investment banker, so I decided to do it on that.</p>

<p>What type of skills do you need to complete your job?</p>

<p>What type of training is required for your job?</p>

<p>What advice would you have for someone aspiring to become an investment banker?</p>

<p>How do you think your job will be different in the future?</p>

<p>What was your first job?</p>

<p>How did you get the job that you have now?</p>

<p>What is the best part of your job?</p>

<p>What is the worst part of your job?</p>

<p>What do recruiters look for in an investment banking applicant?</p>

<p>What are some similar careers to investment banking?</p>

<p>What are some exit opportunities?</p>

<p>What are the top investment banking firms?</p>

<p>What are the top undergraduate and business schools to become an investment banker?</p>

<p>What is the average salary for an analyst in a top IB firm?</p>

<p>What should one major in while in college if they want to become an investment banker?</p>

<p>What classes should a high school student take in order to prepare for investment banking?</p>

<p>What are some ways that high school students could gain experience in investment banking?</p>

<p>Thanks.. and BTW you don't have to answer all of the questions.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if real ibankers will come on CC, it's more of a HS/College/Parent forum, but why don't you try this one out <a href="http://www.ibankingoasis.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ibankingoasis.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

4

<p>go to the forums there</p>

5

<p>does anyone know of any accounting forums?</p>

6

<p>I tried ibankingoasis first and pretty much got attacked for it. lol</p>

7

<p>Hahahaha:). Yeah, I saw those questions on the forum. Do you actually think someone working over 80+ hrs/week would take the time to answer all those questions?</p>

8

<p>I don't know. If they type fast they could probably answer them pretty quickly. I also said that they don't have to answer all the questions.</p>

9

<p>lol most people wouldn't read all the way to the bottom of the post in order to realize that they don't need to answer all the questions.</p>

10

<p>It's for a career project for school and those questions are required.</p>

11

<p>research its not that hard to find the answers, if you had researched enough you would have had finished by now.</p>

<p>ibankingoasis is similar to CC except it focuses on business (coporate), I personally just read for now, there are a lot of lingo and information that is just not available to high school students, but its a great forum</p>

<p>It has to be an INTERVIEW. We have to ask them all those questions even if we know the answers.</p>

<p>People have so much trouble understanding that; on ibankingoasis and CC.</p>

15

<p>so just pretend like its interview, teacher is never going to really know, you can't follow all the rules, ibankers have 100 hour work weeks do you think they will actually take time away from their life to answer ur questions or even be on collegeconfidential for some reason</p>

<p>If it has to be an INTERVIEW, then INTERVIEW someone, don't post the questions on a forum.</p>
