Do any of you guys who want to go into IB actually know what investment banking involves? If not I strongly advise looking it up and doing work experience in that setting. Not only is IB boring it is very stressful. Be a forex strategist like me :smile:

... I guess forex strategists work in investment banks so by tenuous connection, they're also investment bankers :biggrin:

Would be foolish not to research something you're thinking of pursuing lol. Anyway we applicants have plenty of time before deciding on specific career paths :biggrin:

People do have to eventually grow up and realise that money doesn't buy happiness I guess. Selective Buddhism has helped me grow as a person and allow me to foresee such hopeless ways to live life. I bet I will meet many who dream of IB if I chose LSE in the Summer...

I am sure most people here realise that IB is in structural decline? + the level of competitiveness for each intern position?

The majority of what IB do is make the markets and talk to clients

I'd either choose to work in the public sector(with the government etc.) or become an Energy economist!
