<p>all you kids talking about IB/finance losing its luster and being so much less lucrative…hat’s your next best alternative? </p>
<p>Consulting pay still doesn’t come close to IB, and the kids at MBB don’t have it any easier. Banking pay has certainly come down since 2006, but what did you expect going into a recession? Also, hedge funds and PE are still paying astronomical sums. I have a 200k guaranteed minimum bonus at my next job, and I’m 25. Seems pretty lucrative to me.</p>
