| metfan2121, analysts don't get paid $500,000. The guys that make the big bucks are the ones that make it rain on a consistent basis (i.e. Moelis, formerly of UBS, he started his own boutique in summer 2007 and already got action with the Yahoo-Microsoft deal. Same with Quattrone and Qatalyst and Perella with PWP).
Bottom line, if you're in the business you make money because the business makes money. |
