If you want to pursue a career in investment banking, it makes sense to choose a business school program with a banking focus and an exceptional track record for placement in the field, right? That’s why we created the Clear Admit Career Guide to Investment Banking—a detailed guide to the programs that best support a career in i-banking. Based on extensive research into the nuts and bolts of a wide range of b-school programs and data about recruitment and placement after graduation, we selected fifteen top schools and provide detailed information for each about academics, extracurriculars, and career support.
For example, here is an excerpt about the faculty at Harvard Business School:
“Thirty-four professors identify investment banking as an industry of interest, and 15 of these specifically target investment banking as an area of focus for their research activities. The finance faculty includes a number of noted researchers, including one winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.”
A grid of selected HBS Finance faculty—including the aforementioned Nobel Prize winner—is included in the guide, as well as course information and professional experience for each professor.
Another excerpt talks about recruitment at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business where recruitment events start early:
“Twice a year, the Chicago Booth Career Services Office organizes a Corporate Networking Night focused on financial services and corporate finance. Representatives from industry firms are invited to campus to meet students at an informal reception. One of these networking nights is held in late September for second-year students only, while both first- and second-year students are invited to attend the mid-November reception, More than 25 firms generally send representatives to these function.”
Early in the application process this guide will help identify a group of schools worth exploring, while later on it can serve as a basis of knowledge for essays and interviews, as well as a rich source of information about career outcomes and club activities. At the end of the process, this guide can ultimately help candidates make an informed decision about where to enroll.
