I wonder if it bothers them to have all the pressure and responsibility of being CEO qhile certain employees in S&T are making five times what they make. I don't see how that's worth it. Is it because they can schmooze their way into more exclusive clubs, even though they make less? If it's a desire to be famous, that doesn't make sense either, because if you're working at a place like Goldman you probably want privacy.

 

haha, I don't know why, but every forum. I don't work at jefferies or credit suisse or whatever bank you say I work at, but this is getting pretty annoying

CEOs of really successful businesses get paid much better than banks. You can own your own small business and get "paid" more than a CEO of a bank.

the financial industry gets this rap from the buy-side. portfolio managers can get paid a ridiculous amount of money if they perform well

 

Well consider this, Goldman had revenues of $39B in 2010, and has assets of nearly 1 Trillion... Blankfein made $13,200,000 including bonus... So yea.
