Until junior recruiting season started, I thought I was pretty set on S&T as I'm a mathematical person who likes markets. However, after talking to a lot of people in IB, I've been impressed by how they get to work on something that really matters and how much you learn. I've also been told by some friends to never do IB because they think the work is boring and the hours are too much. I was hoping to get some candid perspectives here - do many people here enjoy their work in IB?

Lol no.
Lol IB analyst dont work on anything that really matters. They are service industry monkeys creating little value for a sliver off top of the real value an entreprenuer made.
Haha we're not Spider-man. Think about it, most of us are at work posting on this forum. Does that not answer your own question?

If you're a mathematical person who likes markets S&T over IB seems like a no brainer.
