  The  evening  started  with  an  overview  of  what  investment  banking  is  and  the  role  of  an  analyst.  Students  heard  from  Jonathan  and  Artem  about  their  personal  experiences  in  investment  banking  and  shared  some  advice.  “You  have  to  convince  yourself,  before  you  can  convince  others”  Jonathan  related.  After  listening  to  a  general  overview  of  investment  banking,  the  NABA  QC  members  got  to  see  how  to  apply  these  skills.  Luis  presented  a  case  study  of  an  investment  he  made  with  his  firm.  The  students  saw  from  start  to  finish,  how  to  value  a  company  and  different  methodologies  they  could  apply  to  their  investment  strategies.  

All  in  all,  the  participants  of  the  info  session  enjoyed  their  time  and  learned  a  lot.  Sophomore  Christopher  Jima  said  “The  event  immersed  students  into  the  world  of  investment  banking…and  helped  students  discover  different  career  paths”.  We  hope  to  have  more  successful  events  and  continue  to  build  a  strong  community  of  business  students  at  Queens  College.
