Same question applies to IB but to trading instead,

Hours?
Work Env?
Entry pay?
Ways to break in from Engineering at Stanford? (Current grad student, is it necessary to have a finance background or just a purely math and analytical bkgd is fine?)
Job Market? (Competitive or not?)
What to expect as an intern?

Thank you all for contributing.
