Expensing in MBB
Hi guys, quick questions on expenses in MBB . I know we don't get a per diem but are reimbursed for our expenses. Does it make you look bad if you max out your expense?

After being bashed by many hedge fund managers as a "one hit wonder," Paulson closed well in 2010, putting another strong year under his belt.

Why does Wall Street still call it BONUS?
I feel like the term "bonus" should be reserved for a typical company where they work 40 hours a week and at the end of the year, they get “leftovers”. In Wall Street, it is part of the process. It IS "Deferred Compensation". And deservedly so. You guys get shit on as a result of semantics....

Which field has the highest hourly pay?
Has anyone been told they are getting paid overtime?
So I recently got a call from hr at my job that starts tomorrow. Apparently the company has a really conservative legal, so they have decided to follow the letter of the law in the US and pay analysts time and a half for any hours we work past 5. Has anyone in banking heard of this happening? I...
