Say goodbye to the dream

[Jonathan]

Lapoker, in general I agree with your post...the numbers
bantied about have been optimistic. Two points though
concerning your bright friend.

1. Making MD or Partner is extremely difficult and depends
more on political skills than anything else.

2. Salary+bonus does not tell the whole story. When Goldman Sachs went public a few years back the average
partner pocketed in the neighborhood of 300 million.
Just ask someone like Jon Corzine, NewJersey's current
governor, about the upside potential!
