This looks to be a good thread. Can people who are working in banking give some day-in-the-life summaries of what they do, preferably with less jargon and acronyms? I'm curious to see what you really do all day in various types of jobs.

I've been interested in making a career change to something investment banking related, but starting over again, working the long hours, etc is what's turning me off. I'll be blunt, it's the potantial money that is the primary lure. I'm doing a low grade form of VC work right now and am finding it a lot more fun and interesting than my old jobs so it's not only a money thing. I'm just looking at what I'm doing now and thinking that it may not be such a big leap to go all-out in a proper investment banking firm.

I work for a major manufacturing organization as part of a small group that does some $100Ks to $2-$3M investment deals with technology startups. We're just building this business from the ground up so we're just kind of creating our own business model (we don't do straight cash investments), methods for evaluating potential partners, etc.
