[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fun and enjoyable and like a gap year. I know a kid who graduated from one of these schools, worked as a backwoods hiking guide for a year, then joined a top tier investment bank. [/quote]

There’s no way this is real. Top tier IB jobs go out to summer analysts, so they start right after they graduate. [/quote]

I know of two IB employees who feel burnt out in two years and are exploring an exit strategy.
No, they don’t.  Your middle class roots are showing.  Most IB jobs go to kids with connections. [/quote]

The kids with connections ARE the summer analysts, dummy. [/quote]

No, you are the dummy. Kids with true connections do not need to work as summer analysts before getting offers... I have a good friend with a lot of connections who went to Harvard with me. He took off a couple years to teach English abroad and then came back and joined a top tier consulting firm.  I have friends who did similar at investment banks.

And I'm a pretty recent grad so this isn't a back in the day thing.

Harvard grade don’t want to be investment bankers anymore. [/quote]

This^. None of DS's Ivy friends wanted to join finance bros because they are seen as douche bags and work isn't purposeful.[/quote]

My husband went to Harvard and he works at an investment bank. He's not a bro at all - the furthest thing, truly. But we both value a comfortable lifestyle and we prioritize careers where we can grow and make money. [/quote]

I would not consider day to day life in IB as a “comfortable lifestyle.” At all. YMMV.[/quote][/quote]
