Question for the investment bankers.

I'm considering IB roles. I have an MBA from Texas A&M, undergraduate in construction management and 8 years in engineering; what kind of roles make sense to shoot for? What's the pay like? And reasonable WLB expectations?

Network with people from your MBA, leverage your career center, and hope someone’s willing to take that shot. There is no WLB, you’ll be expected to be on call pretty much at all times (at least starting out). Pay can range but expect ~195k first year. Bonus component is huge, almost 120% of your base (at least at JPM).

If you want any resemblance of WLB then avoid IB. You will put in 80-100+ hours weekly. On call at all times even on weekends.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I flunked out of school and had no options when I joined the army. I hated every second of my time in, and spent all my weekends getting as drunk as possible.

Amazing how time can change your perspective, because 10 years ago I never thought I’d be here.
