I can't understand a word of it. And how much are these guys pulling in a year? Not much. Sometimes we forget that not every intelligent person gravitates to wall street - that guy beside your black car driving a 93 camry with rusty fenders could be more intelligent than literally anybody in the financial industry and you'd never know it.
Money and intellegence often do not go hand in hand. Way to point out something thats been true forever.
of course it's always been true, too bad its forgotten so often by so many in the industry

Have to be smart to get into banking: Absolutely
Have to be smart to actually do banking: Highly debatable

emotional intelligence, anyone?
