Volatility of the Job Market

<p>How safe is the investment banking job market?</p>

<p>IB seems like something that would be extremely volatile in terms of job count as the markets are constantly fluctuating up and down.</p>

<p>Wouldn't heading into engineering be a better option overall?</p>

<p>Yes there is more risk pursuing a career in investment banking than engineering…which would explain significantly better compensation (especially at the more senior levels)</p>
