<p>After my 5 years of service, will I still have a chance to become and investment banker? I competed as an athlete, was a top student (economics, with a heavy math and engineering background) and had a plethora of extracurricular activities. I held a leadership role in the finance/investing club, and have still been keeping up with the markets, intensely studying trends, and trading off of a personal account while on tour. I consider myself a more open and outgoing person, and I have excellent leadership and interpersonal skills. Thank you.</p>
<p>Most will say you’re better off applying for a top 20 business school after your service and trying to get on-board as an associate at an investment bank after you complete business school.</p>
