<p>I disagree. Not all IB analysts do the same work. You often hear that Ibanks employ all kinds of majors like art and history, well, those analysts will do non critical thinking jobs like doing excel spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations. Those are the people who will say any monkey can do their work because they don’t have the finance and accounting backgrounds to do anything more sophisticated.You can bet that very few Wharton grads will be doing that type of work. They will help with IBD that requires financial background and analysis.</p>
<p>Trading is done with those with more quant skills( but not much because it can be taught easily) and very few finance/accounting majors go into trading because exit opportunities are limited because many banks are shutting down their derivatives,prop and commodities trading because of new regulations.</p>
