Found this gem today on my FB feed. Just scroll right to number 1.....

I don't know who they're paying to write but talk about cranking out garbage.

hahaha i want to lay waste to whatever data aggregator they ran through glassdoor to come up with this list. I bet the keywords were "Banking", "Associate", "Finance", "Investments" and if it had one or two they marked it as a hit. However im still trying to figure out how the least competitive job on this list regularly chews up and spits out Ivey League kids who at least on paper are the 0.1%.

 

Optometrist was on there too- that's a lot of schooling and having to set up your own successful practice. This list is bs. No way there's 100k open ib associate jobs.

26 Broadway where's your sense of humor?
 

Reminds me when Petroleum Engineer was at the top of the Forbes highest paying majors every year.

Then oil dropped and there were more unemployed petroleum engineers than anyone knew what to do with.
