Careers

Before you commit two years to an analyst seat, it helps to know what the job actually pays, how the hours really run, and where the role leads. These guides break down the investment banking career path from analyst to managing director: base and bonus at each level, the day-to-day work, and the exit opportunities into private equity, hedge funds, corporate development, and beyond. The goal is a realistic picture: what the job rewards, what it costs, and how to decide whether the path fits before you recruit for it.
