Y’all need to chill with this $$$ thing. You will make bank in any position if you kill it, period. You won’t be up 20-30% every year vs the benchmark that’s for sure. Just go back to work cause liking $ isn’t the only performance driver at these places

i know a 1st year analyst, running a $500MM L/S book at a MM, cleared $69mm last year. He did this while also running the TMT group at GS and investor relations for Blackstone. He hasn't slept for 57 weeks now but loves to tell college kids about his comp and exit ops -- especially on anonymous message boards. 

Few understand this... 

 

I heard he is vacationing in the hamptons until he turns 35 to run for POTUS. Recently turned down the upcoming Fed Chair position, citing the only president he'd work for is Ronald Reagan.
