john5170: Out of SEAS, you'd most likely be a quant, doing things like implementing machine learning algorithms, doing number crunching, etc. Investment Banking is more the style of job where you make presentations and do some numerical analysis, but most of your time/effort is spent dealing with clients directly. Both are incredibly hard jobs in terms of hours, and on a per-hour rate you get screwed the first few years($100k may sound great directly out of school, but not if you're working 100 hour weeks), but if you work your way up, you can earn millions a year.
