Who earns more: Investment Banker or Accountant
Just genuinely curious, also, what about the hours and social life outside the office?

are you serious
Accountants, duh.
Yeah, you should definitely go with accounting.
Definitely accountants. Your hours are crazy and you will have almost no life, but if you don't mind that, you can start at a high salary. Banking you'll only be working 12 hour days during busy seasons, but the work tends to be quite boring and you make significantly less. However, you have more opportunities to have a social life. Though a lot of bankers like to break into accounting later on in their career.
I see what you did there.
Also curious
I have an offer for Goldman Sachs M&A in both the New York and Lincoln, Nebraska Office. Which will have a cheaper cost of living?
thanks for the help.

Definitely easier if you work for what accounting circles refer to as the Big4 - H&R Block, TurboTax, Intuit Inc, and TaxACT
I recently saw an ad for OMG Tax. They should definitely be top 5.
You dumb?
Well the answer depends,
Are you talking about earning more on a pecuniary basis or earning more on a utility basis?
Pecuniary basis - IBanker
Utility - Depends. An accountant could easily earn more intrinsic economic utility vastly outweighing the pecuniary + econ. utility of a banker if the individual enjoyed the work/work-life balance of it enough. The reciprical holds true.
Curious as well. Trying to decide between MS TMT and KPMG audit summer analyst offers.
Accounting
With the current environment in Europe, it might be a tie-breaker ...
Hahahaha. Well said.
You need 150 credits to take the CIB exam. Not worth the extra year if you ask me.
Comparable on a per-hour basis
