<p>To OP: you say you only know IB is for you with hands-on experience. But what makes you pursue that hands-on experience? Thinking that maybe IB is for you. This comes from reading books, talking to other ppl, etc. I know i became interested in I-banking upon hearing about it from a friend in junior year of HS. I got curious and began reading stuff like dealbook and mergers and inquisitions and got interested inthe industry. While I agree that knowing IB is definitely the path one’s life will take is a stretch, but merely choosing it as a profession one wants to have is no stretch at all.</p>
