Money doesn't buy happiness. This isn't pop culture crap. Let's face it. The IB industry is extremely grueling and consuming. Most of the banker "wannabe's" who have never experienced anything like it only worry about the compensation. Do you even know how many analysts leave the program before the 2 years is up? You don't hear about them, just the ones who survived and went on to "greener pastures". Think about it. For anyone trying to enter IB, it would be very wise to do some summer work (100 hours a week type work) to see if it's for you. If it seems tolerable, dont forget, you're still in school, do you really want to be doing this as the main focus of your life? 100 hours a week, every week. Think about it. There are numerous advantages and few disadvantages, but the disadvantages are big ones. No social life outside work, no time for family, grueling hours (2 or 3 days without sleep in front of a computer screen?)
