Title Hatred

Does anyone else hate titles?

I particularly dislike the Associate title - I would rather be called Needle Dick.

Has anyone seen this?

Chris Rock plays an investment banker.

The only funny thing in the movie is that Chris has a mustache.

Do you think you are worth what you are paid?

Pretty simple question...

I personally think I am underpaid... but I have fallen into the comfort trap.

Not following a clear "Path"

From an outsiders point of view, it seems like you really have to follow a narrowly defined path to get into ibanking. The path includes things like...

- certain schools
- certain majors
- certain timeframes (e.g. get an analyst position right out undergrad, associate position right out of b-school, etc.)

Do you feel the same? If so --- do you think it makes sense that the banks focus so much on this?
