I'm not quite sure what the whole fuss about goldman or macquarie is. Are they big in Singapore? Those banks don't pay the highest bonuses. Goldman pays the least to juniors because they can get away with it. The numbers i've given you are factual, and what we've received in the past year.

I've offered to share my knowledge on comp as I feel that people have a right to know the truth and not speculate over how much IBD bankers earn. It doesn't deserve half the hype that is out there ("oh he's a banker so he must be filthy rich with 7 lambos and 6 ferraris with a house in the Cove") because most of that are untrue. It's a job, it demands long hours, and you are compensated accordingly for it. That's all there is to it.

Let's not go crazy over something that isn't all that special. If i dont do my job the world isnt gonna change; But if the people in the police/military stop serving i'd love to see what happens.
