Jesus, I know they dont produce revenue but wtf thats a hell of a lot less than the national average for accounting/finance majors (around 46/47k) a year. I mean they do work a good 50 hour a week. Damn.





i know people workin for
i know people workin for BB's in ops who are makin 60k...where are you talking about?
55K base & 10K sign on bonus('07 Class.)
That's what a friend is getting at a BB.
More then 40K
They make more then 40K, don't know where sleepyguyb is getting his information. I'll be interning this summer at GS in Ops and I'll be getting 55K prorated.
...
Few people I know who started in ops were making anywhere from 50K - 60K. If you're coming straight from campus recruiting, tack on an additional 4-8K in signing bonus, and year end bonus was anywhere from 10K-15K.

Dude, operations is not finance or accounting. You don't need to know about finance to work in ops. There are high school dropouts in operations.

wtf is wrong with the BB I got an offer from. Its certainly a very good name.
location
55k is in NYC. which is not much if you consider the expenses. Its probably eqv to 40 K in a much less expensive place.
I know Lehman IT guys are making 62+8 starting then some pocket change for year end bonus (2-5K)
Ya, Id rather have 40k in
Ya, Id rather have 40k in city im at than 55k in NYC, but I was hoping they would save money on rent and stuff and still pay me the NYC Ops salary since it is the exact same job.

At my university operations major are right in the 46k-47k range. They are paid fairly well. My advice would be either work for a different bank or look at a different industry.

I worked in IB OPS my sophomore summer and that is definitely true. High school educations are at a premium.
