Though in recent years, many have highlighted the fact that the allure of investment banking has significantly dimmed given the multitude of undergrads wanting to head straight into the buy-side or technology. This however has not been a trend I personally agree with, as more and more students around me (from completely clueless engineers to law students) are disregarding their degree industry and aiming to head into finance.
Personally, I became interested quite early (my junior year of high school), and went through a BB interview process to the very last round. These past few years, I've become somewhat obsessed, watching from the sidelines and waiting for my turn.
Now here's a good discussion, at what age did you know investment banking was the right industry for you? Did you plan on making it a short stint, or did the fierce competition and devastatingly exciting work grab you and not let go?
