And the good thing is that, once u prove yourself as a star banker, u are made for life. Kweku, the fallen trader at ubs, is an example.until his arrest, that guy led a life that his mates, even oyinbos, yes oyinbos, can only dream of.

Nonetheless, i agree with u that ibanking is for the really smart and strong people. It is demanding. One must deliver, but the delivery comes with an accelerated career and a lot of $$$$..something which conventional industries don't offer.

Yours truly,
