I have some questions about banking. I'm considering the industry because VC sounds like a potential career for me in the next ten years and I have heard that banking or consulting is the route prior to VC.
Quick background:
I work at a BB PWM firm in Los Angeles and have my Series 7 and am taking my Series 66 soon.
Questions:
-What is the recommended route to get into a banking analyst program/entry-level analyst position if I have only have PWM experience (two summer analyst positions and my current position, all at BBs)?
-How reliable is Investment Banking Institute or Training the Street? The reason I ask is because I have been recommended those courses by friends in S&T, IB, Consulting, and PWM. Will having financial valuation and modeling skills from this seminar translate well on a resume or will the fact that I have not had any banking experience limit me.
-Should I pursue the boutique route? I feel like it is much harder to get into BBs without SA experience...
-Lastly, am I at a disadvantage because I am no longer in school (Top 3 Public University Class of 2010 graduate)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the analyst exchange internship would be really helpful in your situation. You get a 2-3 weeks intense modelling training and a month or so internship with a hedge fund,VC or IB. That would boost up your resume a lot. You do have to pay 4995 for the program. the website is http://www.anexadvantage.com/
what? you pay for a internship?
