Anyone here investment banking and willing to admit it? (If you say KH I'll slap you).
I am graduating this year and would like to talk about the industry in the US.

Not in US. But been around. Ask away.

KH: 29. B.Sc. in Chemistry from Israel's top ungrad in the field, military service as technology analyst, got a business master's (finance and marketing) in Israel, worked in corporate sales in the industrials/energy space for 3-4 years, graduating this May from Yale, in a one-year program.
Saras: Sure, can you tell me a bit about your experience, and in which area did you work? I have several guys in my class who were analysts and associates in boutiques in Europe and they don't really want to come back. Why is that?
Az: OK, you're not too old but you are def on the high side for somebody coming in as a post-MBA. Associates are worked a little less furiously than analysts, but you're still grist for the mill. My bet would be for you to get into a top boutique which is strong in the chemicals/industrials/petro biz. Less good would be a bulge bracket which will treat you as another cog.
Have you considered PE or a l/s fund? Come to the buy side....
KH: PE is certainly an exciting industry. However I am not sure as to my possibilities to recruit directly to PE without working for a bank or a consultancy on the operations side. L/S, and HF in general are very interesting but many of the same things apply. Top boutiques in oriented fields are my natural tendency as well, but I have heard they are populated by Texans that really like other Texans. I wonder where do I start networking.
Re: workload - I'd rather be in the office until AM than sleep in a hotel a-la corporate sales or consulting. I know it's a grinder.

Well it's not very relevant to you - been in an emerging country with feeble capital markets and businesses initially run mostly by former communists. I worked in equity research in an inv.banking subsidiary of a major commercial bank in Vilnius. Did that until I was 21 and then jumped over to M&A. Then the bank got hammered when Russia defaulted in 1998, got taken over by a rival and we did an MBO on December 24, 1999
I thought I'd be finally rich by now, but it will take a bit more time I think
I think work at European boutiques is similar to that of the US ones. Swedish inv.banks, for example, work their analysts/associates almost just as hard as the yank banks in London, btw. In London, non-yank inv.banks MAY BE a bit less Navy Seal Hell Week-type environments, but close.

One thing I am glad about and sets me apart of the rest is the fact that I don't think about these things as a "get rich quick" scheme. It can be an incredible career, or a stepping stone to other things ( Funds ). I love working hard, I have worked hard my whole life, working till night does not scare me - I am actually looking forward to a lifestyle that involves less travel, and thus automatically more time at home. I am not near my breaking point.
