Does anybody ACTUALLY like banking?
Last year and a half I've only seen negative posts on WSO about IB, and rightfully so, but does anybody else actually like / enjoy banking? Sure the hours are tough and covid put extra pressure on, but prior to covid, I personally enjoyed what I was doing (to some degree) compared to what my high school or college peers are doing. I'd much rather work with upper management of the most prominent companies than work at a construction site drinking beer all day (extreme example, but you get the point).
Might be wasting a few years slaving away, but since I'm risk-averse and come from a middle-class family, I value consistency and financial security. Anybody else feel this way and not mind banking because of what it provides?
The people "working on construction sites drinking beer all day" are happier and healthier than you, and have functioning relationships.
Lmao looks like you don't know any construction workers
Facts. Lol
We never got to drink beer during the day when I worked construction, if we had, it would've been a viable long-term career path.
I haven’t made it into the industry yet, but I’ve said to myself “fuck this industry” quite a few times. The harsh truth remains, there just aren’t any other careers that hold my interest as this one does. The ambitious have to make many sacrifices, that’s the price of admission.
Every high-earning career has it's downsides.
I doubt many of the general public realizes how jaded medical students and young doctors have gotten. A lot of advancements in healthcare is a double edge sword.
No one between 6 months and 10 years in likes banking
How much time do you think people who enjoy their craft spend reading internet gossip about their careers posted by high schoolers?
I do. Otherwise why tf would I do it? I already come from a wealthy family, but im not smart enough to code or be a doctor. If I hated this job id only do it if I was poor and needed the money badly
My thoughts exactly.
