+10 Not true. High volume / low value deals is the forte of shops like MOE or JEFF. EBs like EVR, PJT, PWP etc always tried to sell that they work, for the most part, on large-scale, strategic M&A etc. VP in IB - Cov

+10 Man you could have had a good life, get married, have kids, but instead, you are going back into the pit. Green Zeus
+10 20+ years in, if you look at my analyst class, with one exception (and even that’s not wildly ahead), the people who stayed in banking (there’s one GS partner, one CVP partner and several group heads at solid firms) are de Managing Director in IB-M&A

+10 If you want to make high six or low seven figures in your late 20s/early 30s, finance is the easiest way to do this and its not close at all. Yes, it is competitive and the job sucks, but this is the reality. Research Analyst in S&T - Equities
+10 Lol A+ rage bait. All the English squids complaining in the comments. Fix ya’ teef mate Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+10 Spot on. The kid can’t control what family situation he is born into. sezb7207
+10 ^Just cleaning up the above. Give him the SBs. goodL1fe
+10 I disagree. Capitalism doesn't mean extracting every last dollar of value from every productive asset and charging nearly exorbitant fees for the privilege of doing so. neil88
