IBs do hire a lot of engineers, but you have to have stellar grades from a top school: Cambridge, Oxford, imperial.

I studied Chem eng from tier one school and joined as a M&A analyst in a tier one us bank. It was hard and you have to network like crazy to get in.

Think about why you want to do banking. Money and glam will not last you through the long hours and nasty environment.

Why are bankers paid so much? Because there is no job security and you get fired any moment.
