Basic Questions about the IB Industry!! Pls Help

<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>

<p>You do not need programming for IB.</p>

<p>You can learn to write macros if you’d like at some point, but it is by no means a prereq.</p>
