Think about why you want to do banking. Money and glam will not last you through the long hours and nasty environment.

Why are bankers paid so much? Because there is no job security and you get fired any moment.
hello friend, bankers are now paid less than 5 years ago. to earn so much, you need to do sales and more hours. more wealth at the expense at your health. choose wisely. in my experience, banking is no longer glam anymore. media like this site and 154 put banking at the number 1 choice. the real winner is the media, they have captured your attention, spam you with ads and sell more subscriptions. you have been there, done there. big bonus is long gone. what's left is the crap that fresh grads is picking up.
