Yeah you forgot the part where they had to spend 12 hrs a day sucking dick to climb to partner and actually get any of that cash

💯 I work with traders all the time. People on blind think they make a lot because they make 300k. It’s laughable. They are so naive and don’t realize how much money people are actually making “out there”

Facts, I’ve been spending all my spare time getting Sba loans to purchase small businesses and roll them into a small pe firm. Next year leaving amazon 🙏🏻

300k is a lot. Just because a small group of people make more doesn't change that. Not sure why people are so emotional about this.

Next up: Billionaires taking home billions of dollars bonuses after billions in profit for the firm. This once again shows every sweaty trader comparing bonuses is comparing peanuts compared to the big CEOs in industry. Summary: There’s always a bigger fish

This is great, but it means nothing to us as tech workers. I would rather take my 105K TC remote job that’s stable as opposed to a highly volatile finance job where I would have to work upwards of 80+ a week. There’s also an element of survivorship bias here, especially considering that this is a top firm and that they survived the other firms that didn’t do so well in the market. TC: 105K
