Sorry the closest experience I have is interning in consulting before switching to IB. We have a few ex consultant post-MBAs on the floor, I think pretty much everyone is happy they made it into IB. Workload is more intense, but comp and transaction experience is unparalleled.

To the yoloers reading this and trying to cause gamma squeezes: focus on tickers with low float and weeklies. Monthlies don't hit the right spot. Buy lots of near-OTM weeklies, preferably on Thursday or Friday. As the price goes up keep buying OTM at the same ratio to spot. Shares are fairly useless here, leaps too.

Do it on a ticker with a heavy put volume expiring in the near future too, ideally.
