There are several transcripts of discussions on investment banking career paths for graduates, primarily PhDs, just lying around the web unread. So, to give these useful resources a bit more exposure, I’ve pointed to some of them in this post.

Individually, they don’t shed that much information, but overall, if you’re thinking about what PhDs do in investment banking, or your prospects if you’re about to finish your PhD, give them a look:

• October 2006: Facilitated by a fixed income quant (who joined Barclays Capital from a 10-year engineering background) and a 3rd-year PhD student.
• April 2006: A relatively short discussion with the Head of Convertible Bond Research at BarCap facilitating.
• May 2005: A couple of final stage PhD students answer questions.
