"Investment Banking

More and more often PPA and accounting majors are being recruited for investment banking analyst positions because of the heavy accounting skills required for these positions. Whether its due to analyzing financial statements, understanding the tax implications of a merger, or studying the effects of a new SEC regulation, PPA and accounting majors are well positioned to enter this high risk, high reward field."

So I ask my question again, if I receive a CPA certification straight outta undergrad (which is totally possible because of the CPA training courses that the Haas school of Business @ Berkeley offers), will I have an edge in obtaining an Ibanking position at a top firm???
