Wow, great description.

Parts of that actually seem really fun, but mainly the learning about industries and the model-building. I suspect I'd be a bad IBD intern.

(I've been talking with some people about a technology-focused turnaround firm; capital is cheap, but being able to do PE/etc. turnarounds by buying existing failing companies and replacing tech, rather than building a startup to disrupt the industry, might be interesting in certain sectors where distribution, IP, etc. really matter.)
