Episode S2 Ep06: From $30 in the Bank to Investment Banking

0:00 1:49:52

In this episode of Wall Street Diaries, Max Johnson breaks down what investment banking actually trains you for, and why many students misunderstand the real value of an IB career.

Drawing from his path from investment banking to AWS, Max explains why banking isn’t just about technical skills or fast exits. Instead, he reframes IB as a long-term training ground for judgment, execution, and operating at scale—skills that compound well beyond your first role.

If you’re considering investment banking, or already on the path, this episode will change how you think about skills, exits, and long-term career strategy.
