I recently published, “The Pathway To A Career in Commercial Banking,” on Amazon. The book is written for business or finance majors who are uncertain of their career path. Also, it is a good read for business professionals who are considering a career in commercial banking. If you know someone looking to become a credit analyst, commercial lender or business banker this is an informative read. #careers #banking #business #success

Investment Banking Stories: First Year Analysts One of the guys in my circle got it "really bad" in banking. M&A group at a BB and this was summer '04, so things were coming back strong but the banks really didn't hire enough people. I know people like to flex with hours worked, but this guy actually did average 95ish hours a week for the entire first year. For context, I interned at Lehman in the summer of 2003, and the intern class was ~55 and the analyst class was 80-85. My 2004 full time class was 100 - 105 I think, but vs. the summer of 2003, deal volume was up 2-3x, which has a geometric impact on staffing needs. Whereas in the summer of 2003, guys would talk about being a on a "live pitch" which just meant the client had some follow ups and was dangling the hope of actually doing something...by summer 2004, I walked back in and was immediately staffed on 3 actual live deals. In the first 6 months, I had exactly 4 days that I didn't set foot in the office. Anyway, the guy that got it bad, he would go for long stretches occasionally when even his roommates wouldn't see him (they had a flex 3 bedroom...see below re "flex"...in eastern Murray Hill near where Whisky River used to be). It was constant all-nighters and he would come home to get a shower and nap around 10 - 11 am most of the time, and they were already at work. In one stretch, it had been weeks and no one had seen him in the flesh. We get back to their place for an after party around 4-5 am on a Saturday night and someone goes into the bathroom and finds the poor guy passed out on the floor next to the toilet in his suit...he fell asleep will trying to go and was so exhausted that he was snoring. Why was he in a suit on a Saturday night? He had slept at the office Friday night and didn't have time to come home until then...guy could have slept through an nyc earthquake without noticing... Investment banking analyst experience is one of those amazing things in your life that you "only want to do once..." #investmentbanking #hedgefunds #familyoffice #wallstreet
