well, I know the data on aervage salaries from my ivy league school. the numbers not all that impressive, low 100k. but its just so misleading, as to whats going to realistically happen to you, because there’s some outliers with such massive numbers that they bring up the average for the reaminder of the schlubs. not sure where i saw that stat, but, it includes hedge fund guys and law partners making well oevr a million, and ordinary working drones like me…and much worse…
if i could do it all over again and get a higher gpa and major in econ and step into investment banking and work like a do g and hit it just right…
well, in that case, i wouldnt be me…that would be some other dude…[/quote]
Well, part of the reason for this, at least back when I was “starting”, older alumni did train me at an early age to “screw the salary” and go after the thing called “stock options”. So when I was just starting out, I never negotiated my salary, but I did ask for more grants.
