Welcome to Maldives

Investment Banking Salaries: Just How High Are They?



Just how much do investment bankers actually earn? Most of the people who want to break into investment banking have no idea how much money is really involved.

Sure, the Managing Directors and other senior people make several million a year on average; group heads can make $10 million or more. And the CEO of an investment bank can make upwards of $20 million, with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein making over $70 million in 2007.

But what does an entry-level investment banker - an investment banking analyst - actually make? Making six figures as a 23-year old just out of college is nice, but if you have to work 120 hours per week, you can't possibly be making that much per hour, right?

I honestly didn't know, so I had to investigate this and do some math myself. Could you actually make more working at McDonald's than you could at Goldman Sachs, at least on an hourly basis?

For investment banking analysts, the best case scenario ever happened in 2007. Base salaries were $60,000 and bonuses were $90,000, for a total of $150,000 in compensation. Again, not bad for a 23-year old's first "real-world job."

But what about the hours? Typically, entry-level bankers work around 90-100 hours per week in their first year. This could be off by a bit, but we'll go with it for now.

With 52 weeks of work per year (nope, no vacation) and 90 hours per week, you would have earned $32.05 per hour in the 2006-2007 year. If you had worked 100 hours, that would have dropped to $28.85.

Even if you had worked 140 hours a week, every week, you would still be at $20.60 per hour. And realistically it's impossible to work that much consistently, so you could have only done better than that.

But times have not always been that good. After the Nasdaq crash and at the start of the last major recession, investment banking took a turn for the worst and bonuses disappeared.

In 2001-2002, Analysts were lucky to get $10,000 for their bonuses. They still worked a lot, but mostly on marketing and pitching clients rather than doing deals and bringing in revenue.

A $10,000 bonus and $60,000 salary means $14.96 per hour at 90 hours a week. Believe it or not, that's still above McDonald's wages and is actually not even that bad relative to a lot of jobs in the US.

But if you had worked 140 hours per week, consistently, back then? You would have made 9.62 per hour.

According to a Wiki Answers page on McDonald's, the wage is $9.30/hour for those under 17 and $9.57/hour after "4 months of training."

This is a very low wage, and it looks like even in the worst possible years of investment banking, hourly analyst wages never dropped this low.

Actually, the above is not strictly true. What if you earned $0 for the bonus and only made the base salary of $60,000 while working 140 hours each week?

That would be $8.24 per hour. Finally: below McDonald's wages. So theoretically it is possible to earn less than a McDonald's worker as an investment banking analyst, though not terribly likely.

It could only happen if you worked a ridiculous amount in the very worst years of investment banking and got absolutely nothing for your bonus.

Even with a looming US recession, this scenario seems unlikely to return anytime soon. So your hourly wages as an investment banking analyst should be safe.

Article of the Week: Interview Preparation Advice

.
.
It is normal to feel nervous before an important interview, but with the right preparation and mindset you can minimize such pre-interview jitters. It is expected by the interviewer that you do express some form of interest to work for the organization by having some basic information firmly etched in your mind. It is flattering if you can show some form of interest for the organization by having the right information ready whenever a question arises. Be prepared because obviously, interviewers will favor those who come prepared.


Get online and access the organization's website because there is plenty you can learn from those pages. Even if you are pretty sure at the job interview you are not going to be quizzed on how the company came to be formed, it will give you insight into how the company operates and their philosophy. Listen carefully to the questions they give you as these are an indication of what they are looking for and these factors should influence how you answer your questions. If they value team players, then brainstorm all the times when you have clearly exhibited this trait and share it with them.

It is important to know about the products and services of the company if you are interested in a sales position. It will create a very good impression that you have taken the time and effort to do some research on the company, it might score some additional points for you. You can ask nay questions about the position you are applying for. Rather then being offensive, it actually lets the interviewer see the seriousness you have for the job and the desire to be a part of the organization.

Why not try a practice session with a family member or friend? Get them to ask question that are common during interviews. There are several typical questions that are common in job interviews and practice makes them easy for you to answer. It is expected that the interviewers will ask for previous work experience which shows you as having the trait they are looking for. This is the question that will determine the outcome of the interview.

Career Advancement Tips for Freshies: 5 Quick Advice to Help You Grow Successfully

.
.
These career advancement tips are not instant solutions to your career challenges. They are work values you can practice to help you advance in your career.

You have just left college and started on your first job. Although you know what your role is at your work place, you are also eager to make an impression. Remember that when you practice these career advancement tips, the results are not immediate. You will only begin to see their values when you start to internalize and act upon them naturally.

1. Heart If you want career advancement, then do everything fueled by the heart. While your brain provides the knowledge, your hands and legs provides the skills, and your heart provides the passion. Fuel every task with passion.

When you work full heartedly, your quality shows. Someone who has the skills and knowledge but do not have the heart to complete the given task can only do a good job. To do a great job, you not only need skills and knowledge, you need heart.

Perfection comes when passion meets skills and knowledge. Approach your work with all your heart and you will advance in your career, successfully.


2. Heed Many freshies I have come across and worked with are very excited to demonstrate what they know and learned in school.

However, they forget that sometimes experience is needed to complement what is learned in the academic world. As a freshie in the workplace, you need to take heed of what your seniors and bosses advice you. Pay careful attention to what they are trying to tell you. Some things only experience can teach you. The finer points of any industry can only be learned when you take heed of advice from elders in the industry.

3. Hunger Have the hunger to know more and learn more. Have the hunger to want to go further and do more. If you want to advance in your career, always be hungry for relevant skills and knowledge. Always be hungry for excellence in your work. One of my ex-bosses used to tell me, when you do a good job, you earn your salary and your current position. When you do an excellent job, you give me reasons to give you an increment and a promotion.

The hunger to want to do more and do better quite naturally makes you a competitive advantage in your unit. People will notice your constant pursuit of excellence and that will make them want you to work for them and keep you on the team. You increase your value to the company. This is one of the career advancement tips I continue to practice till today.

4. Hindrance As a freshie, you lack experience at work and you will find a lot hindrances. These hindrances coupled with your eagerness to demonstrate your prowess at work will frustrate you. Some challenges and obstacles are real. It could be related to your lack of skills and knowledge to complete a task.

You may perceive yourself to know how to do the task but in reality you may not be equipped to do so. When faced with hindrances, seek help. Do not be egoistic to not do so. No one knows everything. When you seek help you learn a new skill.

Some hindrances are more people oriented. They can be difficult colleagues simply testing your patience. When I was a freshie, how I approached this hindrance was to see it as a rites of passage. They want me to give them a reason for respecting my input and my work. When faced with such colleagues, practice patience. In extreme cases, you can seek help from your immediate boss.

As cliché as it sounds, hindrances only serves to make you learn more if you view them positively.

5. Humor To balance off the career advancement tips of heed, hunger and hindrance is humor. I can still remember some of my personal experiences related to these career advancement tips. Imagine how stressful it can be when they all happen together.

Imagine the stress of having to deal with this situation - You are supposed to take heed of advice and remember it, especially when it is due to a mistake. You need to be hungry for excellence. You get hindrances from colleagues because you are new. In addition, hindrance to complete some tasks due to the lack of experience. How do you deal with it?

One of the best ways to deal with all these is to have a sense of humor. Laugh at yourself a little. When the going gets tough, laugh. While you need to be serious with your work to increase your chances of career advancement, it doesn’t mean you cannot relax. Sometimes you have to say - it’s only work. Having a sense of humor allows you to minimise the stress at work.

These are the 5 quick yet important career advancement tips a freshie can practice at work immediately. With constant practice, you can make it a habit and it would seem effortless before you know it.

Computer Science Jobs

.

.
One of the few fields that has not been badly scathed by unemployment is computer science jobs. The world has turned from an industrial economy to an information economy, and those with the know how are making big bucks. Ask any programmer, network specialist, or professional web designer.

Programming is the oldest way to make money of all computer science jobs. In modern society nearly every business uses some sort of computer program to help it run smoothly. Very rarely do these businesses have the slightest clue as to go about developing this software. That is when they turn to the computer scientist to develop their programs.

With the video game industry rating higher than the film industry, there is a huge demand for these computer science jobs. It is not easy to program a popular video game just as it is not easy to direct a blockbuster movie. These programmers make more money than they know what to do with.

For a business to run their software, they need a network administrator familiar with the program used he or she works behind the scenes, making sure that all servers, routers, and general question by employees are answered in a correct fashion. Let's face it. Most people do not know the ends and outs of the program or programs being used in their workplace. These computer science jobs are needed everywhere and pay excellent money.

A good web designer is hard to find as there are more than a few hacks out there. If a person can develop nice looking sites there are always computer science jobs to be found.

With programming skills in HTML, XML, C++, CSS, and PHP one can make a nice living as a web designer. There is also very helpful software out there to aid the web designer; Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash are just a few that help in these computer science jobs.

With so many businesses on the web these days these jobs are not hard to find if the programmer has the knowledge. Knowing how to build an e-commerce site will make you more money than, say, knowing how to build a site for the corner bakery. However, say that corner bakery ships it's pastries all over the world, then the web developer not only gets paid to build the site but also, if he or she is a savvy enough business person, they can make a commission off of the goods that the bakery sells.

All told, computer science jobs are incredibly easy to find. The knowledge needed for these computer science jobs is much more difficult to obtain. With lots of hard work and determination the knowledge can be learned. Computer science has many opportunities, probably more than any other field of employment. And it will not die any time soon. The first step to getting a job in computer science is applying for a Computer Science Degree So if you want to make some a bunch of money and do not mind sitting down all day one of these computer science jobs is yours for the taking.

Technology Management Degree - Education And Careers

.
.
Technology is the fire in which the future burns. The ability to look at things and envision ways of making them better has served the race well since the dawn of mankind. Without this ability, humans would still be living in caves and killing prey with their bare hands. One of the ways to harness this ability within yourself is the technology management degree.

Education is the cornerstone of a solid career. Without one, people would essentially be no different from animals. Since education is indestructible, it is something that can be carried with you throughout life. Some even say that it is the most valuable gift that one could ever think of possessing.

It's especially important now to get the best possible education you can. With all of the trade schools, colleges, universities and coaching centers around the country, you have plenty of places to choose from. It's important for a person to have the best possible knowledge about their chosen field in today's competitive work environment.

There are many careers that can lead to achieving success. You could take a corporate law course or advance computing course or follow many other opportunities for advancement such as engineering. But to have an advantage over others you should understand how important a technology management degree can be for you.

Technology management is the field of management which concerns itself with technology (currently a high demand field), and how it relates to the global market conditions. Those who enroll in technology management courses often find that they are able to achieve a great degree of success in their field.

Professionals in technology management are generally grabbed up by the large, multi-national businesses. Thus, a technology management degree for those specializing in IT functions, is likely to bring great career growth. However, it is also wise for anyone to keep abreast of the current changes and developments in technology applications. With this in mind it is also wise for management professionals to consider a degree in technology management.

Technology seems to be the buzzword in the field of software today.. Getting a good education is the pillar on which a sound career can be constructed. It's important for a person to have the best possible knowledge about their chosen field in today's competitive work environment. This article will throw light on the importance of a technology management degree. This course is based on the field of management that concerns itself with technology and how it relates to the global market conditions. Obtaining such a degree in management can really expand your skills and also your job opportunities.
