Something to consider. A lot of kids just see the $$$ reported on salaries for well known big/boutique institutions and actually don’t realize both the difficult road to get there, and then the even more difficult road once you are in.

I would add that the article is not an exaggeration having been a former IB. Of course there were fun/exciting moments, but the grind is there, especially for juniors.
