Internship at IDB

Hello everyone,

I have got into touch with some people to get an internship before I start university and was able to get someone to offer me an internship at an inter-dealer broker. While I am aware of what brokers, (voice, ship, and so on do) I was wondering if I can get an insight into career progression.

I have read what I could on the forums about it, and obviously will be asking the individuals I work with about their path, but I thought I might ask if their is a sort of traditional progression like investment banking? Or is it a matter of moving up from doing menial work, to working alongside them, to eventually getting your own clients and expanding from there.

Any insight would be very helpful!

You've pretty much guessed it right. ALSO: not everyone in IBD is on the 'path'. Some broke in through unconventional means, others stay for more than two years, and still more so something completely different after a while.
