A bit redundant, but why are so many engineers (especially people with masters) still trying to get into finance, specifically IBD? I could understand the allure of getting into a trading/quant type role, but I still get so many inbounds from people in engineering programs asking how to break-in and asking questions about quantitative work you do....
I can count on my hand the number of people I know in IBD who know basic VBA/macros, and the rest have some basic grasp financial analysis (at the analyst level). With the amount of dumb money being thrown at tech today, are some many people still drawn to the IB? Is it because you read an article on M&I that said you could make north of $150k in your first year, that was written 10 years ago?
