i was always wondering, because since i've finished my highschool I was always fascinated with stock exchange and kinda started collecting articles about investment banking, learning about it and this kind of stuff.
I am actually on a IT uni, but shit.. This is so fucking boring. I don't want to end my life earning shit salary and sitting all the fucking time infront of a computer. I am pretty good at it, but I rather like adrenaline..
What would you say Jow Forums.. Is being a broker (i'm talking about jobs actually) or a investment banker is really worth it? Or should I really stay in IT, because it seems like it will be even better in the future? What do you think? Anyone has a friend/maybe someone works here as a broker/investment banker? Maybe you know someone who does it for a living? Let me know.
actually, working in IT is not that shitty, salary is pretty nice, but still - it's not fascinating me desu

Stay in IT, learn investing on the side.

somebody told me the same, as he works in IT and does investing/trading as a hobby. It's a pretty nice synergy, since you can stay at the computer, write your code (i am talking about coding) and invest on a side.
But like, comparing: salary, stress, satisfaction, probability of becoming a good in this (certain) profession - what would you say is better?

And what's just better thinking for the next 10 years?
Will I earn $7k/month in IT, and that's it? Will this be the best salary that I could achieve?
Maybe broker job/investment banker can bring me more profit, but in a longer run? I will achieve $7k/month in a longer run, but actually I will be able to make more in the next few years.
For example:
As a broker, I will earn $2-3k as a beginner, but then it will constantly raise. Maybe in the next 2 years I will hit $4k/month, and it will raise and raise as I will gain experience.
Or
I work as a coder, and the $4k/month came A LOT faster than it was expected. But whenever I will hit $7k/month, it will be the end of it. It will be really hard to find a job which will offer not really bigger amount of money. The only reason to grow bigger will be just to open my own IT company.
What do you think? Is it like that? Maybe I'm wrong, but that's why I'm asking you - just to educate myself.
is this video more like bringing investment banking to the ground,
or like showing a normal person what is he going into? So you can actually know if you're really into it or not?

He drops redpill after redpill on the IB industry, youre better off trading your own money if you want to make money. Anyways since you want to know about IB I suggest you watch the series
Justin Thomas
do IT for now and trade/invest on the side. Get comfortable with it for at least a year or two.
You'll have the stable IT job which will be great for the unstableness of what you'll be getting into.
Even on the side, it'll give you adrenaline and stress at first, then you'll be ok for a bit, then back to stress and cycle until your swings settle down.

how many IT workers jumped out of wallstreet buildings in 2008? IT is the perfect job to learn investing on the side, gives you an edge in tech investment understanding aswell as crypto, and you have alot of downtime while on the job to daytrade. they are a great combination
