How many hours a week do you work?

[Super Speed]

Try investment banking. I believe normal is 16-20 hours daily, 80-100 hours a week.

Eta: Didn't notice the previous posts. On my phone.

Sleep?

They actually do 1-2 all nighters a week! besides for 14-16 hour days! But you won't get 250K starting anywhere else

Not true at all (that they start at $250K). Search Glassdoor

[churnbabychurn]

Finance associates are around a 100k.
Pretty decent
ETA check out those bonuses!

I think 250K is better.

And it's also impossible to get a job on Wall Street these days. Hotshot guys with MBA's from Ivy League Schools are a dime a dozen.

Need sleep badly. Though I was using WAP version of DDF and sometimes you don't realize that there are more posts before you reply.

Maybe that's a selling point:  "Why take a hotshot guy with an MBA from Harvard or Yale, when you can take a good ole fashioned hard working guy like me.  And don't forget my BTL!"

Money only has value if you can do something with it.

If you think $250K will be valuable to you when you are wrung out and washed up and your family hasn't seen you in two years you are sadly mistaken.

The only people who will appreciate that are your children's principals.

[sky121]

It seems like in NY that would be just enough money to survive comfortably. After housing, schooling etc.

My comment was on the word "appreciate".  As in hakaras hatov for paying our salaries.

He understood that and was saying a Rebbe would rather a kid he emotionally stable than his father paying full tuition .
