I started my career as a trader at a bank and then moved on to quant/trading/PM roles at extremely cost sensitive firms. Not a single one of them used IBKR.

This thread is about institutional customers rather than personal accounts.
I know at least one former hedge fund manager who ran a high 10 figure hedge fund whose personal account is not at IBKR. I respect him a lot.
