How many Investment Bankers?

How many investment bankers are there in the U.S.? In the world? How many SAs? How many 1st year analysts?

Would be very interesting to see these numbers but I've been having a hard time finding reliable information.

 

In the World*: SAs: 1,000,000 1st yr anals: 300,000 2nd yr anals: 150,000 3rd yr anals: 50,000 Ass 1: 10,000 Ass 2: 5000 Ass 3 - 2000 VP1 - 1000 VP2 - 500 MD1 - 100 MD2 - 10 MD3 - 0 (die of heart attack/suicide/broken family)

Thank goodness you sourced this, I was going to redline "Source?"

I'm sorry, but I find it very hard to believe there are only 1,000 VPs. Then again, I think you may be joking :)

If you thought that post was serious, you are retarded. Goldman PROMOTED 321 to MD last year alone... so no, there aren't only 100 MDs in the world. C'mon...

There has to be more than 1,000 VPs when you consider that close to that many sit around at Pierce & Pierce all day long comparing business cards.
