Q&A: I am an Investment Banking Analyst (lowest level) on Wall Street
I'm leaving investment banking in a few weeks to go to a hedge fund and thought I'd share my experiences and thoughts on the profession and industry in general for those that are interested.
My shit DOES stink, I'm not driven by money and, in general, I try to be a good human being.
My background is relatively typical for Wall Street: high GPA from a top school and internships every summer. Summer after junior year I interned at my current bank and received an offer to return full time. I've been here almost 2 years now as a Mergers & Acquisitions banker.
Really, ask me anything. I'll do my best to present a fair and balanced perspective (not in a Fox News sort of way).
