How can investment banking improve?
Seems like the big things today are work-life balance for junior folks. But are there any other things that can make this a better industry?

jesus christ, stop asking this shit. this industry has literally killed a kid before and it's even worse now. it's not going to get better
How did they kill someone?
Moritz Erhardt
By that logic do you mean that any industry which has killed a kid deserves to stop existing?
no, retard. i'm saying that banking isn't going to get better
Why not?
Higher pay for junior / mid-level bankers and more transparency to prospective analysts / SA's and post MBA associates before they join re the personal sacrifice and time commitment required. There are some additional steps to actually improve things as well that are in process with a number of banks, such as protected weekend time and mandatory vacations should be quite positive if they stick and are enforced.
More money more problems
Banking isn't going to get better
