Great article. Thanks for posting. Bunch of suckers lured into the rat race with delusions of grandeur. Most of them make shit, and the 1% that make bank have no friends, no social life, and a soon to be ex wife and kids that hate them.
Big money houses should decrease the 250K salaries of analysts to $150K and give them atleast 1 personal analytical aides at $50K. Hence making initial spreadsheets set ups or presentation templates or even summarizing a whole 60 page report on some industry into 2 pages etc. would not be irritating headache. Rest of the 50K can be given as perks which would make work processes little more smooth via added technology tools etc. This will save lots of burn outs down the road and also improve results where they matter the most i.e. yearly returns on the monies handled.
