He said that as an I Banker in his 50's. He left I banking shortly after.

I'm not disclosing my employer as there are a few people who post from this account from time to time and I don't want my name associated with their posts.

The head of my investment bank once dropped this knowledge on me:

You know what you cal a 45 year old investment banker?

A failure.

I banking isn't meant to be a career past 40, unless you are the kind of person who doesn't want to do anything but feel the rush of the deal.

If he's been doing I banking for 20+ years, he should be able to retire at this point. My thought is that he's doing something more menial and callin. Himself a "banker" to sound more important.



but aren't you just a commercial banker?

Taking a year off at age 47, after presumably working for 25 is a bad sign.

What a joke. If he has any specific skills at all he should be able to take a year off and come back no problem. I'm 32 and I could easily take a year off and come back and find a job in a month or two.
