My friend is an i-banker for UBS, she makes around 200k a year.

And the best part is, there's no time to spend it.

Seems like a good thing to do for a couple of years to build up a nice pile of money, then quit and do something you enjoy.

Yeah you gotta be a work-aholic Type A person to put yourself through those kinds of hours. Keep in mind my friend is making that money a year after being recruited, spent 3 months in NYC for training everything paid for in a nice apt in Manhattan but now couped up in an office in SF. Definitely has some of it's perks though. I would probably do it if I had the creds.

When you get used to it, it becomes really difficult to quit working as an i-banker gets addictive after a while.
