what page was the article on?
I believe the article kmahajan is referring to is "Best of Times is Worse for Investment Bankers". It was on page C1 of Thursday's WSJ.

Its been about 30 years that I-banking hasn't been sexy, and the world at large dislikes I-bankers.
For a lot of the people who do it, its still great fun and a great way to make money.
You don't pay $30 million M&A fees for uselessness.
Yep. People forget what this business is: acting as a middleman between different companies with access to the financial markets. Those in actual corporate development view it as an uneccessary expense. Tech companies use internal ex-bankers to minimize costs (Google is an innovator) as many intend on leaving banking.
Bottom line, kids idolize banking due to the money and challenge.
Trading = higher pay, better hours.
