The route is not easy, luck plays a big part as well, not just interview skills, academic credentials (good degree in any fields can apply, I have team mates with Bachelor of Science from Stanford)

Applicants for such programs usually numbers in hundreds if not thousands (globally). For my batch in 2006, there are only 25 vacancies. After 2 years, everyone will be posted to different depts, depending on performance during the 2 years. Among the 25, 4 of us got into investment banking.

That's glamour part, for the unglam part, we worked crazy hours until midnight everyday (sometimes have to come to office on Saturdays as well), you got to have the passion for it otherwise you can't last.
