In reply to Sampath. I don't think it qualifies as a true IB role, but can't comment on the salary, as I don't know the current rates in India.

What do you think of the Asset management space in India? What are the top firms and their compensation structures?
Thanks!

In reply to Lakshay. If you apply to those places without being in the region or having permission to work there, you will not win anything. To have the best chance, you need to attend university, a Master's program, or an MBA program in one of those places and then apply from there.

In reply to krishna.

One idea might be to go for startup-focused banks in India (https://mergersandinquisitions.com/startup-investment-banks-india/) as it can be easier to network your way into those roles, especially if you have a tech background. Other than that, it’s tough to move directly from the back office to the front office without another degree in between such as an MSF or MBA.

Hi Brian,I have been selected for an internship at the back office of a bb and I have already interned at a similar place a year ago and I want to switch career to front office.As I have seen in your post in India there are very few IB roles and the hiring is also less and also from what I have read in another post it’s difficult to get into an ib using msf without a finance background or a previous internship in front office so do u think it’s possible for me at all to move to front office I am stuck in a position as of what to do next can u suggest me something thanks.I dont know if i can get a front office intern with a tech background.I am trying to learn as much about finance as possible but do u think there are firms which give such interns to people from tech background.Thank you.

In reply to Nicole. Not really; please do a search for "India" to find our previous/other articles on this topic. There are some region-specific points that make it quite difficult to win IB offers there.

Hi Brian,

I have just completed my MMS in Finance in India.
I’m looking forward to specializing in Valuation, M&A, and Venture Capital and Private Equity.

Any specific courses I can do to strengthen my chances of making this my career ?
