Well I guess for most people, if they get the IB job most would gladly work the long hours. For those who don't, they can always comfort themselves by going into a less stressful job and be paid for the amount of work they put in. Anyway money is not everything. If you are in a work environment where everyone gets high pay, you won't feel very rich anyway comparatively.

all the people I know could only take 2-3 years of working in a IBank, it's just too stressful but no matter what people say you wanna try it out yourself.

I worked 4 years in an IB role. Not much life. Constantly tired, stressed. Years 25-29. It's ok if only for a short while for the exposure and to absorb some positive stress to cultivate your own work ethic. IF you start out in a 'nua' environment, culture shocks are what awaits you when you finally switch jobs. Right now I am in a different bank but am managing stress very well for myself purely because of the hell I went through. Self chosen path and a rite of passage that usually pays dividends.

How much is your salary during the 4 years in IB?

The hard part is getting in.
I'd take it w/o hesitation if I can get in.

And why not? If one can earn $m within 3 - 4 years, you can be a millionaire before 30. After that, you can do the "normal" kind of work and cruise till retirement.
If invested well, the $m can balloon to even more by the time you retire at 45.

Hi. I'm a fresh graduate (early 20's) currently in my first year of a 2-year IB graduate scheme at a European IB. I work with some pretty smart people within a very niche yet influential team. And while it's hardly a typical 9 to 5 set-up, the challenges of the position and the amount I learn from these makes doing such a job all the more appealing. The perks are pretty good too. My pay is SGD$85k. If you are young and serious about banking and can get onto an IB grad scheme, do it. Good luck
