Look at your MD’s and ask yourself if you’d be happy to be where they are at… becasue that’s where you’ll be. Worked to the bone, divorced, absent from your family, no hair, no health. Use your intelligence for something that matters.
Also you aren’t making millions until MD and thats if you’re good
Trust me - spend 6 months at a bank and you’ll want to start a cattle farm and live off the land.
It’s an unnecessarily brutal and toxic job. It doesn’t have to be. It’s made this way cus of hardos. It’s actually quite an interesting job, but terrible for life. The money makes sense if you do this for a defined period of time, save your $ and then f**k off to do your own thing or something else. Lots of decent exits with much better WLB.
And it continues not to be toxic because senior bankers know there is a pipeline of people like OP thinking this job is the key to riches or a better life while ignoring the red flags that people in the role bring up (like we are exaggerating)…
Because they are at point where they have better options.
