<p>Hey Im extremely interested in going into the IB industry; however, someone recently told me I would never make it without programming skills. Does anybody know if there is any truth to that? I mean obviously there are people in the industry whose job it is to work with algorithms and all, but do all analysts etc. need programming. Ideally, I would like to put in the time in IB for a few years then move into something more along the lines of hedge funds??
Thanks y'all</p>
<p>Im only asking because I absolutely loathe programming and therefore have little knowledge because I havent put in the time with it</p>
