[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really disconcerting in the sense that there's no really no incentive nowadays to want to rise to the top of your field.[/quote]
Why is it disconcerting that there is little incentive for anyone with their eyes open to gun for partnership? There is still money to be made. After 9 years in big law, I have over 400k cash in savings, not including my retirement savings and shares of stock. All of it is mine and, because I'm an associate, the firm doesn't get to come askint for my money in the name of capital contributions. I'm applying to exit to the government or in house and, with the connections I've made over these 9 years, I'll be just fine.

You know how easily you could have made that in finance? One year, one good bonus. Actually, depending on where you are and what you do, a lot of people wouldn't even call 800k a "good" bonus.[/quote]
Why is there always an idiot who posts this tripe about finance? :rolleyes: No, this is not "easily" made in finance. You're talking about top, rare earners who work worse hours than big law and get fired way more quickly. Do you have any close relationships with anyone at a bonus-eligible hedge fund or investment banking job?

[b]I should also add that, for the very rare few who make the bonuses you describe, those bonuses come with ridiculous years-long clawback and vesting provisions.[/b] Stop parroting nonsense you have read and don't understand firsthand.[/quote]

What? No they really don't. How about YOU stop parroting nonsense you obviously know jack shit about. [/quote]
