Investment banking salary, hours, pros & cons...is Investment Banking worth it? I'll share my top 5 pros and cons for doing investment banking as an analyst, based on my experience as an analyst at Goldman Sachs. Everybody knows about the investment banking pay, the crazy hours, but what do you really get out of the experience, and what do you sacrifice as an analyst? If you're curious about getting into banking, I highly suggest you watch all the pros and cons to get a fuller picture before you decide to go for it.
