IBs are superficial. They don't have the time to interview so many and hence rely on HR to do the CV filtering.

Analyst program: Minimum 2nd upper + strong internship experience. Your CV won't pass this.


Associate program: Reputable MBA. Your CV won't pass this.


If you really want to get into IB of a BB, you need to network. Find some way of getting to know people in the industry. Slowly make friends up to someone who can call the shots. Check all your contact points (distant relatives, your wife side as well)
