Yes, Matt, I agree that money is very important and that there are few industries that pay as well as IB. But here a some more topics for you to think about:
1) The knowledge that you get when you work in three/four different projects at the same time (different products, indutries, etc.)
2) The power that you get when you start becoming more senior in your career. Unlike other industries, IB really takes you to a senior level in a relatively short time;
3) The opportunity to go to the best BS in the U.S.;
4) And, of course, the opportunity to become a millionaire before 35 and to retire (if you want) before 50.
I guess if you are young and willing to pay the price, these are pretty compelling arguments for you to stay in this industry and NOT to do what our Lazy Ellen is doing. |

hi
i loved this post of yours! ("message to matt"). makes a lot of sense to me.
however, i am a 2-year old mckinsey person, am doing quite well, am very well respected in my office. but i dont see the kind of incomes that can make people millionaires by 35!! would someone tell me what kind of a line one has to get into?
would appreciate any advice!! (unlike my pals at lehman, i dont work the slog hours here at mckinsey, but i'd love to especially if it brings in that kind of moolah!)
