How to break into investment banking/finance?

I have several years of work experience in market research and on the editorial/publishing side of a business think-tank. I%26#039;ve come to realize that I%26#039;m in a dead-end position and don%26#039;t see myself spending further decades in market research or in a business publishing role.





I%26#039;m able to network with many finance professionals among my acquaintances. I do have a business degree, but am not specialised in finance or accounting. Unfortunately, I%26#039;m probably too old to be considered for formal trainee programmes. Are there %26quot;softer%26quot; experienced hire positions within investment banks that someone with my background can realistically aim for in order to get his foot in the door? How do I pitch myself as a career-changer?

Reply:You should try the Chartered Insurance Institute website and you%26#039;ll find details of any qualifications you need and what type of job the qualifications will lead to.

Also, if you do go down this route i would recommend buying your study material from bpp.com instead of direct from the CII as the books are easier to learn from. Hope this helps!
