Anyone here a big boy banker (aka financial examiner)? I wanted to ask you, how did you manage to land such a job? And what does it take to do the job successfully?

Lets say someone wants to sell his 60% stake of a 10Billion market cap company. He can either go and market sell, tank the price 90% and lose alot, or go to an investment bank, and ask it to help him find a buyer ( or many buyers) or outright buy the stake itslef and look for a way to unload the position on the market ( and essentially take on the risk of owning the stock for that period).

Also, issuing loans to massive institutions, act as a market maker for certain markets, and construct financial products which investors will buy ( search " financial structures" on google)
