Investment Banker Life

Want to be an

Investment Banker? But how well do you

understand the Life of an

Investment banker?

Wouldn’t it be great if you have a clear

picture about what your life will be as

an investment banker?

Don’t worry I am going to help you

out with this.

Downsides

Working for 100+ hours a week,

including weekends

Work is not constant and would vary from

working on the pitch books, financial models

etc.

Work majorly is done on Excel and

presenting your models effectively in a power

point presentation.

At an Associate level number of working hours

could range from say 80-90 hours per week,

from 9.00 am to 11.00 pm and working either of

the day on weekends

When it goes higher up the chain at a Vice President

level the hours would improve. VP’s, if at they have to

work on weekends or late nights, can do it from home.

Managing Directors have a significantly better work

schedule when they do not travel they could report at

7.00 am and leave by 6.00 pm. But, MD’s have a lot of

travelling to do perhaps 3 out of every 5 days on average

More than the number of working hours it is because of the

unpredictability of the working hours which makes it erratic.

You do not have any control over your social life and have

to be available day in and day out.

Upsides

Salary and

Bonuses

The fat salary and the

bonuses which could go up

to three to five time the

salary makes up for all the

hard work you put in.

Skills Exit

Opportunities

You would be exposed to

top business leaders and

know how they think,

create strategy and the

thought processes behind

their decisions.

It could be a great help

if you want to look for

other finance careers

such as private equity,

venture capital and

hedge funds.

Thank

You!!!
