I am a newcomer to the world of finance and am still trying to figure out the difference between fields like S&T, securities, equities, fixed income, IBD, buyside, sellside, asset mgmt, etc.
I'm assuming IBD is the hardest to break in and the most well-paid at the entry level... but could someone please explain to me how all of these fields differ in terms of job description, skills required, and compensation?
Thanks!
