Wealth Management Basic Info

I am a current sophomore at a solid/decent target undergrad business program with a pretty good finance placement record heading into my recruiting semester for IB. I still don't really know what I want to do with my life, but the general field of finance is probably where I will end up unless things drastically change. I plan on recruiting for IB, but I am probably an average candidate within my school, and don't think that IB sounds particularly interesting to me anyway. The exit opps are obviously great and the comp is unbeatable, but its not really worth it to me to sell my soul. I have pretty much narrowed it down to IBAM, or WM, but there is not near as much information available on the latter two options as there is for the former.

Would anyone out there be willing to give me a rundown on WM as a career path? TC expectations, immediate and future, competitiveness, culture, life balance, future job prospects, etc.?? I would be very grateful.


I posted on the AM forum already, but I wanted info on both.
