High Finance Thread

Agreed with the poster above. As long as you are not in IBD, all are the same no point arguing otherwise

and to the above, reason i put PB = corporate banking is because I was referring to the RMs. If you are in investment advisory, arguable PB > corporate banking; will agree with you.

lol baml sucks bro citi paying 8-9k for TB. sucks to be your friend........

I understand that Investment Bankers are not allowed to hold equities, what about fixed income instruments? E.g. Syfe Cash+ or Endowus' money market funds? Thanks!

Compare firm prestige, salary pay, hottest GFs, deal size, what house, which branded car. Truly the American Psycho way!

IMO as long as you're in IB/PE/HF, no matter your firm name, I respect your grit.

In contrary, all those FAs/PBs/WMs, I can respect their money but I truly look down on them.

FAs are another league compared to PBs & WM. There is some pedigree required getting into a bank's PB/WM program but absolutely none required for FAs. You just need a half-fk diploma from kaplan or some other rubbish diploma mills to get in. I'm not sure why these FAs would even consider themselves as part of the financial industry. It's absolutely disgusting.

Agree on your thoughts on IB and buyside roles, hustle is needed though i would say buyside people are very understated, you won't see them flaunting

Don't bs la. JPM Payments was only 5k before all the pay bumps recently but it's still far away from 12k. If JPM Payments paid 12k, why would anyone elss hustle hard for an IB role when thry can just cruise in a payments role. Go and see the background of those transaction or payment analysts, they are not in the same league as IB analysts
