Corporate Finance prospects

大家好,所以这可能是一个漫长的镜头,但是实际上,我仍然有什么机会在任何地方都闯入公司融资?见下文:

Bachelor's degree in Economics and a minor in Applied Statistics from Syracuse University (a decent, but non-target uni in the U.S.) with a 3.586/4.0 GPA, a postgraduate qualification in Accounting & Finance from the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE), as well as a MSc in Management (Finance major) from Imperial College London with Merit honours (equivalent to a second class upper honours)

Prior internships at a sub-Saharan African based bank called Ecobank in their investment banking division, at KPMG in their audit division, but now working full-time for a venture capital firm called Verraki Partners (formerly called Accenture), where I help build financial models for our clients, which enable potential investors determine the viability of our clients' business models, prepare investment proposals, contract agreements etc.

现在,我在美国降落公司融资演出的机会很可能只是因为我没有从目标学校毕业,否则我的机会很小。MBAfrom a target, but do I still stand a chance of breaking into Corporate Finance in the UK or perhaps in a developed African market like South Africa?

I'm Nigerian, so bear work visa sponsorship in mind. Hope to hear from you all soon!

Diddly, what's your opinion? Comment below:

As someone who is still in college, my opinion might not mean a whole lot but I honestly think you have a great background to get into corporate finance in the US. I attend a large Midwest state school and have an internship this coming summer with a F50 in their Finance development program. Clearly, it'll somewhat depend on what specific function you're targeting and the type of company but you have a wide range of experiences and have international work which always helps someone stick out.

I definitely think the current issue of the coronavirus makes any move hard now, as travel is restricted and I can imagine a lot of companies are in hiring freezes (in my personal experience/area there are).

我可以提出的一个建议是尝试与您感兴趣的公司或您感兴趣的角色的分析师/经理联系,并与他们谈论他们在同事中寻找的东西,如果他们认为您应该追求一个MBA

嗨,Tochukwu-Ogbogu,我祝贺您的学术努力。

We are in turbulent and trying times, a recession is about to hit. It may not impact entry positions but now everyone is xenophobic in a way as long as someone is human.

I would say don't give up and keep trying your chances but I don't see that it is because of you not having anMBAfrom target or something in that academic area that is causing your loss chances, but rather the global pandemic & economic situation that is thinning your chances.

话虽这么说,我想说您的风险投资工作真是太棒了,绝对是“如果我是你,我会留下来”。

为什么你要找和你我什么ooking for in corporate finance? I would say you stay inVC现在,也许尝试闯入PEorIB将来甚至三年后咨询。

保持这些角色另一个3或4。为你的目标corporate finance role then. You would have the overarching view of a business, how it works, bird's eye view. If you start in corporate finance entry level, sometimes you pigeon hole yourself into a role and sometimes the highest it goes is 1 facet of the corporate finance world, for example finance controller. Exceptional cases are all encompassing Finance Manager roles (which are tough cookie survivor roles). In worse case scenarios if you are aiming CFO, getting a commercial experience as a general Finance Manager after my suggested plan for 6 years is still not too bad and on-track to your plan to be a CFO in Corporate Finance.

I am assuming that is your end goal anyway. But if your role is any corporate finance role in the USA, then I would really have to say I have no purview on this and no one is certain about the economy for now. Not even the health experts as the pandemic is really exponential. And the odds don't look good. Models suggest 6 months. My bet is on 18 months.

Taking into account asymptomatic cases and the danger it spreads even if any lockdown is lifted, economic recovery is likely sluggish.

EricthebarbarianHey man, thanks so much for the kind words. Breaking intoIBorPEor one of the top management consultancies - e.g.MBB三年后VCsounds like a good plan, but bear in mind thatPE可能只是因为许多PE今天的公司通常从BB或Elite Boutique或Top 10中寻求顶级分析师MBAgraduates and require more technical & specialised financial modelling skills using theLBOapproach for instance than what I'm being exposed to in the VC-related experience I'm currently getting.

Hence, I personally think breaking intoMBBorIB作为经验丰富的雇用,我认为仅仅是因为可转让的经验创建损益表,现金流报表和资产负债表的可转让经验,并基于各种时间表和与这三个财务报表相关的模型输入,我可以轻松地在访谈阶段forelated bank role or inMBB。Thoughts?

Also is Equity Research afoor MO role these days (Sometimes hard to tell)? That's another role I'm seriously considering in the near future due to my solid writing skills, as well as my keen interest in analysing a company's financial performance, as well as other internal/external factors that could positively/negatively impact the company's stock price for potential investors.
