Hi there,
Once you have work experience, investment banks typically place much less emphasis on your GPA. While your GPA may still be relevant early in your career (like when you're applying for internships or entry-level roles), after you've gained a few years of experience, employers are more interested in your practical skills, performance on the job, and how well you’ve contributed to previous teams or projects.
In investment banking, for example, the focus tends to shift to your deal experience, technical skills (like financial modeling or valuation), and how you've grown professionally. That said, a very high GPA may still stand out positively, but it's not likely to be a major deciding factor after you've demonstrated your capabilities in the workplace.
Ultimately, experience, accomplishments, and the ability to perform in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment will matter far more than the numbers on your transcript.
