Most prestigious job/company in high-tech

[GLOBALTRAVELER]

<p>

Globaltraveler, after reviewing many of your posted messages, I see that you continue to be out of sync with the financial rewards of Investment Bankers.</p>

<p>The $200,000 per year is only after two years, which is more than what many equally bright engineers make after 15-20 years on the job.</p>

<p>This, however, is peanuts to what these kids will be making only a few years later, namely $500,000, $1 million, $3 million and even $10 million per year…further, the ones that move over to Private Equity and Hedge Funds are seeing $20-40 million per year…

</p>

<p>What is out of sync is not telling folks that these jobs are for a SELECT few. These jobs are highly competitive…about 20,000 kids competing for same 100 jobs. There are a LOT of things on the checklist to garner these jobs.</p>

<p>I don’t want these kids pulling out huge loans and impacting their social lives to for some job that is only offered to 10% of the engineering graduates…probably 10% of the engineering grads of the Top-10 schools because other majors can get these jobs also.</p>

<p>I know about the income. It is what is needed to get these jobs that is not talked about.</p>
