Investment bankers spend 50 percent of their time trying to convince potential clients that thier bank is different than that other guy's bank, but for a junior banker, at the end of the day, they're all the same. It takes our friends six months to realize that we aren't stockbrokers, working the phones to sell crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors. It takes us another six months to realize that we are, in fact, selling crappy public opperings to investors. The only difference is that we aren't selling them over the phone, we are doing it in person, and the investors aren't unsuspecting individuals investors, they are the major financial institutions of the world.
