Is that you, van wilder?
Unfortunately there is just to high demand for entry into investment banking and not enough positions to accommodate everyone. I personally believe that the buy side, especially private equity, plays a significant role in this. Investment banking is a mere two-year stepping stone for most and this also drives a shitty overall culture. Seniors can treat analysts poorly because they know there gone in two years. This is the reality of the situation where those who want to make a career In banking either have to go the MBA to associate route or come in from college and eat shit for 2 years and grind your way up.
