Ranting into the ether about banks
Not much to add other than some anecdotal weight to the differences in pay within a bank. I previously worked in an investment bank and there were teams famous for the money they were making and the pay they were receiving. At the same time there were other teams that made little profit or made losses and were treated as black sheep. It's also telling that as someone working on the other side (i.e. applying the brakes) we were seen (and compensated) as a cost centre and tolerated rather than appreciated when we pointed out risks.
