Investment Banking, true portrait?

Yet another bout of insomnia and yet another blog posting. I have not had so many instances of insomnia, since my puberty years. Last I checked, my voice is still the same and pimples are minimal. There are my normal worries (memories of passed father, my survived mother, inherited son, b-school applications, work projects, deadlines, financing MBA), and a few new ones (i.e. my divorced sister asked I provide male figure role model to her 10 year old son) have climbed on my shoulders but I'm managing them so far. My normal 18 mile (28.9 km) post work bike ride helped me destress and recenter myself and I was sleeping early but kept on waking up. Gotta find that off switch or at least snooze button in my mind. No worries, lack of sleep gives -tvu additional blog reading time!

I submit for your reading entertainment, fellow class of 09' blogger....Katrina. Came across her blog and boy did she kick ass on the GMAT! -tvu bows to her superior standardized test taking skillz...cuz she's got mad skillz. Otay..Enough with the silliness, back to this posts' point. Yes, I'm a poet...

In a previous post, Katrina referenced this article written by an intern for IB, based in Hong Kong. Sounds exciting, yes? Well read the intern's article. WOW. Is that an accurate portrait he is painting of Investment Banking?

Yet another story about IB I saw last weekend on a local newspaper, and i did a little google for that and found this link:

Katrina,
Since you're focusing on entrepreneurship in your MBA, you shouldn't worry about the big bad DB. hehe... Yes, there has to be a work life balance for me. So i'm focusing on consulting. hehe...
