what nonsense. most just follow what their clients want. as long as clients are happy, pay them, they are happy as they will get their bonuses. many don't last long as the job is demanding and there is no life. for the good ones, they make their money and leave. these high flyers would retire as soon as they could. yes, many actually make money from buying properties. i know one guy who made enough and now he is retired, sepnding most of his time in his D10 gym and pool. he would dabble in stocks for fun. he has enough to feed his children and any future grandchildren.

If you think you are so smart and can earn the same salary as them, why don't you try. Most likely you will fail

Most people who try investment banking fail and have to leave to do something else and Singapore is littered with failed investment bankers who are in corporate jobs. Many just cannot stand the stress and difficult job. There are those who are not very good and just end up getting stuck at an OK but not fantastic salary. Those will work until they retire as mediocre individuals. They may even do quite well, as you say, by investing in property. But there are those high flyers who deserve their million dollar salaries because they are really good at what they do.
