Maybe federal reserve chairman/treasury secretary or president. Noone likes them very much, but everyone takes heed of what they say and make investment decisions based off of that.

How about you focus on your job, and then worry about everything else later. How do you even measure the most "elite" job? The real questions you should be asking yourself are: Do you like what you do? Are you happy with your life? Do you work with good people? Do you like your firm? Do you add value? Do you see a career in what you're doing?

Worry about yourself and your job vs other people's perceptions of how "elite" your job is. If you are happy, working hard, in a good environment, and can add value with what you do then you won't have to troll internet forums hoping some anonymous person can validate your employer just so that you can feel warm and fuzzy inside to make up for your massive shortcomings in your life.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Bangbros is way more prestigious. Brazzers has some weird shit.

the fact that you can distinguish between the two is disturbing.
