The disappearance of Standalone Investment Banks?

MS and GS are the next to fall. The IB model is dying. Investment banks are all going to be absorbed into the lesser commercial banks. This is the end of US market domination. American capitalism is dead. I hate my life.

Why the hate on operations?

SirBankalot — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:36:31 -0400

Okay, so operations is not as grand as banking and they don't get paid as much and they like their fair share of models and bottles. But they are really undervalued individuals. There is no way that a bank can run as smoothly as it does with out an operations department. Stupid mistakes made by bankers are fixed by operations guys. But you may argue that operations doesn't create any value, but guess what, neither do we.

Disclaimer: I'm not in operations, but I know a lot of people who are as you can see by my sig. I'm just a realist.

Jacking off at work

What's the best way to wank a fast one out at work? Is there an indiscreet way of watching porno? I mean i know i should be working most of the time, but sometimes I just can't help it. I can do it in my free time, but I'd rather sleep instead and with all the work im going to have, I'm probably too fat to approach any chicks. Would getting one of these bad boys protect me from my superiors while I watch porno???

Best keyboard for bankers??

SirBankalot — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:20:42 -0400

Whats the absolute best keyboard for bankers??? 100 hours a week is a lot, and I don't want to develop carpal tunnel or something like that. Would you suggest the ones with the cushions at the sides? What about the ones with lots of short cuts? Should I just bring my own mac?
Also whats the best mouse? I've always thought it would be good to have a good gaming mouse because you don't waste those precious seconds pinpointing the right cell in excel. Also, I want to bring a good mousepad that decreases friction, but is the best at the same time. A good one would cost up to $100 but that's pocket change from what I'll be earning. What DPI would you guys also suggest???

Which one has the higher compensation? More prestige? Better hours? Better exit opportunities? More job security? What's the job environment like for each?
