+1 Yea who cares u didn't start. I did exactly that for 7 motnhs. Gold-ManSacks
+1 As far as I know they are extremely well paid - think AN1 was 90k gbp base 3+ years ago and assocs get high base plus bonus plus share of profits every year (with clawback tho) - they make more money there than they would Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Why would Steve and Jon, the latter of which has worked directly with Nadeem for 18 years, push him out 9 months into the top job? You would think he would have more runway than that? Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
