I’m an investment banker who studied
to be an engineer!
Can you believe it? I graduated in civil engineering and after
four taxing years of college, began looking for a job. The thing
is – a small part of my always knew I was passionate about
finance and wanted a career in it, but the transition was
daunting. I was looking for an avenue to an investment
banking job when a friend recommended Imarticus. I did not
face any major roadblocks and could keep up because of the
exceptional faculty and the detailed curriculum. A highlight
was the placement services – through mock interviews and
resume building, the trainers helped me hone my skills. Who
would have imagined that I’d land a job at SS&C Globe Op
even before completing the course? My job involves much of
what I learned at Imarticus, and I couldn’t be happier.
