How does a history major get into international banking?

I would assume some sort of pedigree is involved.



You mean like a degree from an Ivy? No, not at all.


You got lucky

I looked. You got lucky.

Top investment banking and consulting firms hire from some humanities majors here and there, but obviously most from business, econ, math/statics, and stem majors.
