Greetings - Working towards an engineering degree

Hello all,

Ive been following posts on this forum for the last couple days and I decided to go ahead and introduce myself. I am working towards an engineering degree and I recently (as of December) became interested in banking - so much so that I decided to apply for an internship. I actually got an offer from a BB and I am doing credit risk this summer. Ive read some horror banking stories but in the end, this seems like just the right place for me. Has anyone worked/known someone who has worked in credit risk and how does it compare to IBD?
