I'm a fellow MA and I feel that we are overpaid. Despite being in the most prestigious programme in the bank, I believe it is the value one brings to the company that warrants his/her pay. My day to day work involves heavy paperwork which requires thorough human checks that can be easily replaced and done cheaper and more efficiently by robots. The events we held are at times miserably expensive. We claim to make blah blah cost savings for the company but all we did was make the events grand at reasonable prices. And if you ask me what I do best at work, its got to be bootlicking my boss. I'm glad HR didn't cut my pay.
