Yeah.. AM's do pay lower, but by a bit only... and the work life balance on buy side is wwaayyyyy better. Well i'll be a first year analyst so bonus is capped; hope the market recovers though.
exactly. that is why i think AM as an industry to work for is better than IB in the long run.
I have already started working and I leave the office at around 6:30, and at the latest at around 8:00pm. On the other hand, counterparts in IB usually stay until 1 or 2 am
