Why compliance is a much better start for all the investment bankers wanna be ?

I think many people graduate and wait for the IB role, however many waste so much time before they can realize not everyone will make it into IB so it’s really beneficial to see your other options and be realistic.

"Tricky Triangles" I tend to agree with myself too

Some people watch the wolf of wall st and think that's investment banking and they wanna do it, others read a few posts here and think people act this way at work. That's just an illusion. People need to manage their expectations and see their options. Also people here should slow down a little with the BS on the life they live as IB which in most cases not true, it's a job like any other job

 

Yup.

However, if you are, I’m willing to let the title slide as this thread as absolutely nothing to do with the title. It’s just bantering

 

How many students you had in your class ? Are they all investment bankers ? I bet many want to but just fewer make it so why not considering other options including compliance. Goldman Sachs previous CEO started as a tax attorney. Stop being a troll and Try to be realistic
