IBs tend to recruit the same boring, dull people over and over again.
It's that American enthusaism and talk about team-building and acting as if IB is going to save the galaxy that grates.
Most of the people I knew at Cam dreamed of IB , with the economics students being the worst - they would actually waste valuable time that could be spent partying and sleeping with girls joining the Investment club and 'networking'. They would even talk about stocks and the market when you would be in the pub, trying to talk about footy or some nice skirt.
The disappointment of those that I know who haven't got a job in IB is substantial. I think some of them, having spent the last eight years of their life preparing for a job in IB only to find out that those roles don't exist in the numbers they once did, are beginning to experience the early stages of a full mental and physical breakdown, their belief in the gods of the market shattered.
