Curious if anyone has any experience with IB/HF/etc in Canada - I graduated from LSE (master's) in 2009, although I had a good internship in the City during the summer, trying to find a permanent position in London in September 2009 was the epitome of :negative:


So I'm back in Canada, working as a Trader in a very small organization but am thinking about seeing if I can get into a larger organization

I found that in the UK companies more care about "are you competent, are you smart, etc" and are willing to hire people who meet intelligence standards (had a few friends in Development Studies who ended up at GS) - whereas here in Canada you have to check the straight Accounting or Finance degree checkboxes before even having your resume looked which is annoying as hell. I did a dual degree in Engineering/Econonmics before doing an Econ Master's, so it's a bit of an uphill battle.
