Wrapping up my internship over the summer at a BB and I think I don’t like IB or banking as a whole. I’m just not passionate enough to be a slave for a job that won’t make me rich anyway. I’m a little frustrated because I’ve spent all my college years trying to break into this and I haven’t invested much time in any other career path. Do you know of anyone who left banking/finance/consulting altogether after SA and what did they go into?
