How often do you guys see people get fired? Feel like I remember seeing people break into IB that were definitely not the most “intelligent” it makes me wonder if IB really has objectively hard work or if it’s really just about being able to handle the hours and if you can, then anyone can get their 2 year stint in and then leave.

Depends on the firm but in some cases it’s not about merit or intelligence st all but about whose boots you’re licking (or not licking). Not licking = more likely fired even if you’re an otherwise top performer
