By age 60, how much do you think a career banking would've made?

Holy! if you keep "chuggin'" till you're 60 I think you'd be dead.

if you're still working for 37 yrs from 23 to 60 as a banker you've made some serious problems...

60 in banker years is 247

60?....How many bankers are actually ........50 years old?

Really? How old is the oldest MD at your bank? Sorry I'm not working at a bank yet so I wouldn't know this. At what year does the average career banker retire? Is it 50?

the only 60 year olds at my bank are vice chairmen who don't really do anything anymore

I know a senior advisor at an elite boutique who will turn 81 soon and, like the guy frank_reynolds knows, he doesn't really do much

Why do they continue to keep him there if he isn't doing much? I know it's a stupid question but really, whatever he's doing, can't another guy do it? Do they keep him there out of respect and the fact he's been there for a long time?

About tree fiddy

?

they keep them there because they are golf buddies with other important people and can bring in business without actually doing any real work

My boss at my first PWM internship was about 83... then again its PWM so guess hes not a "banker"

but he did work though, didn't just sit around

Good to see no one answers the question
