What one fresher CA can expect at boutique IB Firm in terms of money?

And also what is the career path for it? I have heard Only Top IIM grads get these kinds of jobs. Can CA students get a job at an investment bank after completing his course?

Kindly suggest names of the organisations that hire CA freshers for IB role. Also kindly refer if you know anyone there or work there.

Which skills do i need to have? If an MBA is required then which MBA should i do?

Please post the numbers with the name of the firm Also, please suggest the ideal structure of the salary e.g % if basic pay, % of DA , % of HRA etc

Hi! I have a professional dilemma and would appreciate any thoughts, advice and experience you can share. I have a 5+ years in strategy consulting working for a Big4 - I like my work, team and the organisation Though, now I crave for some different experience - maybe work for startup’s or a VC firm I have been offered a job in a boutique investment bank - which works with startup’s in India My questions: 1. Is it worth switching for a Big4 to a Boutique Investment Bank - will it effect my further employability 2. Does this get me closer to my goal of working for a VC fund someday? 3. What salary hike should I ideally expect Thank you in advance for all the help!

I am currently in my final year, at one of the top commerce colleges in India. Pursuing Bachelor in Commerce and will also appear for my CFAL1 exam in November. I worked really hard for placement season, a few IB firms were expected to come but it doesn't look like they'll be hiring given the economic scenario. If someone holds any position in such roles like IB, Private Equity, Equity Research etc. could they please tell what I could work on and what the industry requirements are from a fresher? Also how do I go about applying off-campus, since I don't believe I'll be getting many opportunities On-Campus?

please share anecdotes
