I’ve been on this site for years and am in an IB role myself, but have a genuine curiosity. Why do people go for IB, wherein S&T has better hours, faster promotion for top performers, and in the long run seems like just as much if not even more comp?? (See recent story about GS trader making $30mm, which is not at all the first time a trader has made that much money). Help me understand?
