done deal
.
i mean career. i like tortles
Yes. If I worked from 22-62, that's $14mil. Doesn't the average Harvard MBA make $3 mil over their career?
srsly?.... yes
Surprised no one has asked "doing what?"
Fewer than 1 out of every 100 people in the United States will make that, so you'd have to be retarded not to take that.
dude, i would take it in a heartbeat. r u kidding me?!?!
you should take a look at how many people actually make it to the post mba spots and they get comp less than that at most shops
I will definitely take it.
give me the job even its a cocksucker
but srsly, sucking cocks for 50 hours/week is tougher than ib spreadsheet monkeys
I would take half of that salary...if that's my starting pay out of college.
It was never about salary for me. Yes, I love money and it's one of the main drivers for me. But I want my career to be a lot more than just a source of income- I want it to correlate with my personal philosophy.
I would never take that offer, given that I don't even know what I'll be doing & it's for the rest of my career... The only reason I'm pursuing a career in investment banking right now is because of the opportunities it provides.
Yes.
Wonder if people would change their answer if the 350k/50hrs is in someplace like Hobunk town.
If it's actually interesting and challenging. I'm all about the money but I'd still go into ib if I wasn't going to be challenged.
are you asking me if i want to be a doctor?
not even one of you would risk it and try to make more? just take the 350/year for the rest of your career? and obviously the job is finance-related, not sucking cocks for 50hours a week like some of you had hoped
Lol.. Yeah ya'll are sissies, me n my buddy Fuld wouldn't even bother getting out of bed 3 day's in a row for that crappy sum.
Besides this is a banking forum right... What's the present value of 350k 40 years in the future? At 10% once yearly it's about 7 and a half grand in today's terms.. In fact it would probably be the greatest deal in history for every corporation in the world's interest to 'lock you in' for that salary for the rest of your life.
if you gave me a bunch of bazookas and 350K, i'd be happy to roll down to mexico and end the drug wars single-handedly
350k a year? Lol, I'd rather not live on that poverty wage
I have no problem saying that I would not take this.
what yall thankin
what yall thankin
come at me. and adjusted for inflation over the years
It honestly depends on what the job itself is.
If it's a job I'm at least somewhat interested in, hell yea. I'm assuming that it'd be adjusted for inflation, too
I'm surprised no one asked what currency.
