Investment Banking London | Savings

Hi everyone,

I'm curious about how much one could realistically save during an analyst stint in London, spanning 2-3 years.

I'm also interested in understanding the reasoning behind this compared to, say, Frankfurt, where it seems like one can save more, especially at the junior level. Is it because of better long-term career prospects?

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Best regards,
