What are your Investment Banking ambitions?

Announcements
What's the end goal for you?
Analyst 1 -> 2 -> Associate -> VP
Would you be happy being stuck at a VP position?
Would you want to become a director or an MD?
Or perhaps some of you just want to exploit a relatively high analyst salary then leave?

Seems most people will be capped at around £200k in about 10-15 years, if they don't suffer a mental breakdown/quit or are fired

IB is a grueling career that pays well, and ultimately it seems all the hard work would really be worth it, if you could reach such a position.

Plenty of other options that pay just as well, or better. Even within the realm of finance.

That is, if you truly know your sh*t.
At least a Masters in a mathematical subject (Engineering/Stats etc)
Become proficient in comp sci, quant developer.
If you know your sh*t £100k+ starting is plausible.
And working in general financial informatic infrastructure, pays just as well.
£500 a day is commonly seen.
Everything I've said you can verify on sites like indeed, and quant focused job listing sites.
