| So, to get this straight, if an analyst averages 100 hours a week for his first year - say, 50 weeks paid - that's 5000 hours. Works out to $30 an hour if he makes $150,000 (with bonus)?
Is there ANYONE who actually enjoys investment banking or is it pretty much the case that you only get in it for the money? I am a current engineering student and thought this summer (rising 2nd-year student) I'd look into different career options like investment banking so I'd know exactly what kind of internships I'd be looking for, but money can't buy happiness...ALL I've read are accounts about how horrible of a job it is, how you'll basically give up your 20's and some of your 30's (if you last that long) to become a millionaire.
Does anyone have any positive things to say about Investment banking? Any accounts of people who actually enjoy it, or get into it for a reason better than money? |
