How much truth is there really to this statement?
You won't last long in IBanking if your only doing it for the money.
Isn't the point to only last as long as needed to exit?

If you're doing it for the money you will last way longer than if your'e doing it because you want to better the world or something like that!
You do IBanking because bottles and models.
You sound pretty ignorant...the point is to last till you exit for most people, but certainly not all - otherwise there wouldn't be any senior bankers....
There is some truth to the statement, but it depends on the person - there was a popular thread on here recently about someone at an EB who wanted to quit and wasn't even willing to wait a few more months to collect a 50k+ bonus.
