Good luck  biggrin.gif . Actually I don't know why I was in IB. Its the norm dream for the locals then everyone follow the hype. Thanks to instagram and facebook for free promo on the life of IB people when they go on biz trip or vacation. Money is very good because you have no time to spend it.

After few years apply to transfer to management. Now 9-5 so happy even though bonus is much less.

So true

From what I observe the trend is changing. In the past young bankers will brag to the ladies about which bank they work(When I started work there). Now they are silent because they are perceived to be as bad as politicians. It seems to be a taboo to be associated with them now. All thanks to GS connections with the politicians, they gave the industry a bad name

That's the perk being in a good ib which make up for the cons. Not having to worry financially. After 3 years working my guts out at the trading desk I resigned and went on an amazing 7 month holiday in north and South America before being called back by my ex boss. I visited all the countries in South America! 😀
