Investment bankers spend 50 percent of their time trying to convince potential clients that thier bank is different than that other guy's bank, but for a junior banker, at the end of the day, they're all the same. It takes our friends six months to realize that we aren't stockbrokers, working the phones to sell crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors. It takes us another six months to realize that we are, in fact, selling crappy public opperings to investors. The only difference is that we aren't selling them over the phone, we are doing it in person, and the investors aren't unsuspecting individuals investors, they are the major financial institutions of the world.
i remember reading that from somewhere.

some call them the "masters of the universe" or just plain simple no life workaholics who is into making alot of money, but hey making money through hard work is probably the most decent thing we can do in this day and age. what would the society prefer, bankers or drug dealer, both risking it all to make a buck.
I also remember reading that passage...I'm going to say it was possibly from "Monkey Business"?
a true shithead
Nice, Monkey Business excerpt. From Amazon.com?
page 4...right there in the introduction. Just instead of "mothers" he put "friends" and didnt list out the major institutions of the world. Oh, and also took it out of the past tense
Copy paste is alive and well.
Well, a true investment banker at his/her best!
