Dimon pointed out that a 17-year-old bank teller could make $40,000 a year, adding: “And if you happen to have a family at 18 or whatever, you get $20,000 in medical benefit for your family.

Bank teller job? He's in banking, and he doesn't know that bank teller jobs are pretty much extinct?

Coder? He doesn't read the news? Entry level coding jobs have either been offshored or taken over by AI (full disclosure: DC is a CS major0.

Has he tried living on $40K with a family, especially around NY where he's based out of?

I do agree with him about college, and how the goal of going to college for the vast majority should be about jobs. But, other than that, that guy is so out of touch it's ridiculous that should be telling people about what kind of jobs they should be getting.

Chase has 6,000 branches and opens new ones all the time. Look at DMV, none existed 7 years now a Chase branch is on every corner.

When was the last time you went to a bank teller and why did you go?

Not Chase, but I go to the bank like once every two years because I have a safety deposit box.

I was sounded at how many people were in line to speak to a bank teller. Several looked like small business owners depositing cash (they had official bank bags).

What the others were doing? Who knows…a couple of elderly who I assume just don’t trust electronic methods or need an excuse to engage with the world.

I go to get dollar coins, which are what the tooth fairy brings at our house. I know somebody who gets $2 bills for tipping bellmen.

Sometimes I use their notary, which is a nice service.

I like him. He's right.

When I worked with him in 2004/2005 and produced a report he report he read daily that tracked the work of our 250 person project that tool me in a single year 3,000 hours of in person office work to accomplish he was new to firm, doing merger work, doing year one SOX, launching strategic plans and an insane amount of learning and executing his vision I know he was in office around one hour before me and one hour after me. He worked I guess in person 3,500 hours that year. He lived in Chicago at time so commuted back and forth at beginning Then there was weekend work and work o the plane.

There is so much damm stuff to know at Chase. And the executives who report to Jamie well there are insanely knowledgeable.

Marrianne Lake who is up for CEO was one of he people who I went to updates with. She was on Senior Mgt team even back then. She go to meeting no laptop, no note pad and damm she knew everything, she was like Human AI.

I only felt I was barely getting it by month 14. Like I finally could contribute and answer questions but that was after 3,500 hours of intense work and learning in person.

Today my firm new hires work from home three days a week are in the office 15 hours a week. We get almost two months off with vacation, holidays, sick days, training days. Thats only 600 hundred hours a year. They will never learn whole business. They will learn their little job, Marrianne Lake who will be next CEO I think is 56 she has been at firm 25 years and she is about ready.

She was working at work and home about same hours I worked. So 75,000 hours to learn whole company to extent she can be CEO. My 600 an hour people at work it would take them just 125 years to learn enough to be CEO of Chase

And folks dont know what branch people do, they sell business, act as call center private banking customers of branch, help with IRAs, RMDs, CD rollovers, Auto loans, mortgage loans, student loans, HELOCs, they have to be knowledgeable tons of productds.

DH goes to the credit Union to cash checks. They clear quicker. He is probably there once or twice a month.

While it’s gross, that’s not as bad as Charles Schwab being in the Oval Office on the insider trading day and the felon crowing that he made $1B that day.

I was going to switch to JP Morgan because rn it’s the lesser of two evils.

So true....lesser of 2 evils, but Jamie D used to be more sensible. He is older now and like anyone aging, his brainpower has slipped and he says dumb things.

I go all time. Chase has free coffee and lollipops.

You just got this?

He's been spouting nonsense for a few years now.

What happened to him? Is it the Trump Kool aid? I assume he was respected ince.

NP here- my DC barely had a 3.0 in undergrad and got a job in sales right after graduation. Makes $70 plus commission (so around 100) one year post-grad. At this point, nobody gives a rat’s behind about his GPA

? I specifically called out the bank teller job.

My dad was a machinist back in the 80s/90s and made $45K working the night shift when he retired. It was enough to live off of, but even so, $45K today even in middle America, is below the median income, certainly for a family.

I said nothing about "my DC with a 2.5 GPA should be guaranteed a 100K job". BTW, my DC has a 4.0 in undergrad as a dual CS/math major.

There are so many people with this exact qualification these days.

Really! I’m not in the DC area, but my newly 18 year-old was offered 5 jobs this summer. Of course she applied to over 50 and Only got about 10 interviews. She is currently juggling 2 for about 40-50 hours a week and is finding out about “time and a half” because she’s working retail today - Juneteenth!! She’s saving for spending money for college.

Not the OP, but yes, really. My kid is experiencing the same. And this is with 2 summers or work experience. Retail places for some reason won't hire them despite being a great student, having experience with people and kids, and 2 summers of work experience in Rec for the county.

Yes but that usually isn't a brand new bank. It's a takeover of another bank who already has employees, many of whom stay with the new company. Further. how many tellers do you think are in each branch? That is going to be very dependent on traffic to a particular branch and location.
