Investment Banking (IB) looks glamorous but the reality is intense. Your work on big deals like mergers and IPOs and can earn ₹10-50 LPA plus huge bonuses sometimes even more than your salary. But the catch ? 70-100 hour workweeks late nights and almost no work-life balance. Breaking in requires a strong college background, internships and serious networking.
