What Do You Do as an Investment Banker?
Investment bankers are the rock stars of the finance industry, meaning their jobs are high profile, high pressure and high status.
Investment banking careers are not for the faint of heart, as the profession demands long hours, working weekends and an often stress-filled, competitive working environment.
With all of the career's mystique, it's easy to lose sight of what investment banking is actually all about. Essentially, these high-flying finance professionals help companies raise money by creating securities—stocks, bonds and other financial entities—to be sold in capital markets. Investment bankers also structure the complex financial details that accompany a business's choice to buy and sell assets or to acquire or merge with other companies
