After doing some initial research on IB and reading messages on this board, I am really interested in making the switch to IB. Before I commit myself to become a banker, can anyone tell me the relative importance of the following characteristics to become a successful I banker (as an associate at a BB firm)?
1) Analytical skills (working with financial statements and Excel spreadsheets)
2) Interpersonal skills (working with co-workers and clients)
3) Sales (cold calling / sales presentation skills)
4) Any other ones?
In particular, is sales a crucial success factor? Will your ranking of the factors above change for a VP?
Thanks.
