Which investment banking role fits the way you work?
Rate yourself on financial modelling, valuation, accounting, capital markets, research and client communication. The advisor scores your fit across M&A advisory, equity and debt capital markets, private equity, transaction advisory and equity research, then gives you a twelve-week plan to close the gap.
Profile-based
Weighted scoring against your own background, not one role recommended to everybody.
Skills gap
Your strengths, what to develop next, and the areas to close before an interview.
Action plan
A practical twelve-week roadmap for the role that fits you best.
The 6 routes it scores you against
Each one leads to a different role, and to different interviews.
M&A Advisory
For people who want to be in the room when companies buy, sell or merge, and can build the model behind the price.
Equity Capital Markets
For people drawn to IPOs and placements, and to what the market will pay on the day a deal prices.
Debt Capital Markets & Leveraged Finance
For people who think in cash flows, covenants and credit ratings rather than share prices.
Private Equity & Venture Capital
For people who would rather own the investment than advise on it, and live with it for years.
Transaction Advisory & Valuation
For accountants who want deal work: diligence, quality of earnings and the valuation report behind a transaction.
Equity Research
For people who would rather write the view the market reads than run the deal.

Illustrative investment banking salary progression
Indicative annual pay in India. Global banks' India teams pay well above these figures and bonuses grow with seniority; boutiques and offshore research teams often pay less.
Where an investment banking career goes
Analyst (0-3 years)
Models, comparables, pitchbooks and data rooms - the work that teaches you how a deal is built.
Associate (3-6 years)
Owns the model and the deck, guides the analysts and works with the client's finance team.
Vice President (6-10 years)
Runs deals day to day: the timetable, diligence, negotiation support and the client relationship.
Director and MD (10+ years)
Wins mandates. Relationships, sector knowledge and judgement matter more than Excel.
Exits: PE, VC and corporate M&A
Two to four years in banking is the usual route into investing roles and in-house deal teams.
Global banks' India teams
Offshore teams in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Gurugram and Hyderabad hire analysts for pitch, research and deal support.
Skills every deal team looks for
Technical
Three statements, DCF, comparables, merger and LBO models - built quickly and checked twice.
Commercial
Why a deal makes sense for the buyer, the seller and the market, on one clear page.
Communication
Clean pitchbooks, precise emails and a calm head when a deal changes late at night.
Investment Banking openings — India
Live listings collected from public job boards and refreshed daily.
What the live listings show
The same listings, counted five different ways.
Openings by product / category
How to read these
Each vacancy once
A role posted on several job boards is counted once, from the first board that listed it.
Skills are multi-valued
One job can ask for several skills at once, so skill counts exceed job counts.
A direction, not a census
These charts show visible demand patterns; they are not the whole Indian market.
