My brother works on the West coast in Inst. Sales, in the office at 5, home around 1-3. Life>work. I don't know the exact $ but he is very comfortable. Not sure of anything else, but I can ask him for you.
Echo this. A good family friend growing up does rates sales at a large MM in SF. He lives in the suburbs and wakes up at 330 on weekdays, leaves around 430 for the city. Leaves the office everyday around 215. He was also my basketball coach for a couple of years and never missed a practice or game. Great family man. He's an MD, so naturally his compensation is quite high.
Guy i know is at a smaller firm and works 12 hour days (5am-5pm). He is in equities, works on commission and does a lot of cold calling
Thank you guys for the replies. I have been looking into these questions through the site and it seems pretty inline with what has been posted a few years back. Anymore detailed insight is much appreciated!
