Investment Banking, Consulting, and Quick 101

<p>I wanted to start a list for all newbies in case there wasn't one already in millions of pages back, but a few quick possible FAQ about IB: </p>

<li><p>IB v. Consulting v. Alternatives.
Almost everyone that I've met takes consulting as an alternative to IB. Of course, options are shades of gray, not just black and white, so what other options are there?</p></li>
<li><p>What majors are appropriate for IB?
Not every school as a "business" major, almost every school has an econ major. But are econ majors overrated? </p></li>
<li><p>Undergrad to grad and everything in-between!
Expectations at each level? </p></li>
<li><p>Things you wish you knew before but didn't.
Please share them!</p></li>
