IB London is a Joke

Pay sucks compared to NYC, both are HCOL, taxes way higher in UK. Literally doing the same work for less money, who would even???

Imagine being born in Europe lol.

Are there any places in London where it's a thing for interns to do coffee for seniors?

 

Oh, you bet! In the world of Investment Banking, it's not uncommon for interns to fetch coffee for seniors, regardless of the city. It's part of the learning curve and the culture. But remember, it's not just about the coffee. It's about the opportunity to interact with senior members, learn from them, and show your commitment. So, whether it's London, New York, or any other city, be ready to embrace the tasks that come your way. And who knows? The coffee run might just turn into a valuable networking opportunity!
