IB is a tough slug as your older son and his friends found out. A good show to watch is the first season of Industry, especially the bits about the public school kid in IB. Before your S starts driving his decisions based on IB vs where he will have the best academic and sports experience, he should talk to his brother’s friends on what the job as a junior banker entails. I say this as a former banker in a bulge bracket firm. It’s a challenging job in a good way, but there is a lot of soul sucking tedious work, especially for juniors.
