<p>I HAD a crush on Ibanking. Not anymore. To quote a certain disney song, I’m moving on and being who I am. I just don’t belong there (in IB), I hope you understand. We might find our place in this world someday, but at least for now, I gotta go my own way.</p>
<p>Oh… and on the I-Banking note. Based on what I gathered working at a BB this past summer, your hourly wage for take-home pay plus stock-bonuses where applicable (i.e. not including in-kind perks such as food stipends, travel, and traditional benefits) is roughly as follows by year (at top bonus for this past year):
1st analyst - $30
2nd analyst - 35
3rd analyst - 45
(typically business school)
1st assoc - 70
2nd assoc - 90
3rd assoc - 110
1st vp - 140
2nd vp - 180
3rd vp - 220
director (highly variable by group) - 350
managing director (highly variable by group) - 1400</p>
<p>The sharp increases are due both to increases in salary/bonus and to dramatic decreases in the number of hours worked each week.</p>
<p>I was wondering about the ap test as well. I am in AP English Literature and at my school the only way I can place out of the introductory composition course is to get a 5. I also had an english composition course I took, but I don’t know if it will carry. I don’t know if I should try for it because I will probably get a 4 not a 5.</p>
