Investment Banking Divorce Rate
Here's a question for everyone. How many associates in your bank are married, and how many have gotten divorced? It seems that every senior banker I know is on their 2nd or even 3rd wife.

It all depends on how well your first wife age...
i'd say it's more common to break up with a girlfriend than divorce a wife... the wife has an idea of what's going to happen and accepts it, whereas the girlfriend will never understand
This is probably true or at least they better hope this is the case...I couldn't imagine forking over the majority of my bonus to some bitch after putting in 100+ hours a week for the entire year. I would hate myself for life.

I never understand wives that complain about their husbands work-life. "You're never home."
Bitch what exactly did you think I did for a living before we got married?
I'd say (for Europe) that probably 30% of associates are married, higher if you take out the direct promotes from analyst who have been with the bank since graduation. Rises to around 60% for VPs.
Most MDs I know are married to their first wife and have a few kids, in fact I only know of 1 unmarried MD come to think of it.
MARRIED TO THE GAME
Exactly fellas. Focus on your career & self-improvement. Don't become bankers just to pay heft sums of alimony. There's no NEED to get married in 2017 when the Family Courts are not in your favor because you're MALE and because you make a handsome amount of money.
Find a good woman that is not materialistic, hasn't grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, and wants nothing more than to be a strong mother and supporter of her husbands' career.
One of my friends married his banking assistant.. :P
:P
Seriously, I would prefer to die...
Divorce(s) and on second or third wife? I think you meant expensive upgrades...
