Your "Review" on investment banking

Would you say that IB is the undisputed best job to start one's career in. 

Given the existence of MBB, big four accounting firms or other firms especially within financial services, how would you review your time in IB?

Would you say that it is not for everyone, or is it the golden standard everyone should aim for?

Do you ever wish you done things differently in your career? I sure do. 

What are your words of advice to younger guys or gals?


Thank you.
