Whilst the salaries look great and all, it comes at the cost of hours worked. The salary per hour (salary/total hours worked) for analysts is around £20/hour, which is still decent but doesn’t sound nearly as glamorous as £50000 a year. I think it depends on how you wanna balance work/free time, me personally I could never spend that many hours working so Im not considering IB. What were your working hours like?

[@faithkayy]

Good point!
