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?

I am a commercial banker, but I have not always worked in commercial banking. I prefer this lifestyle/income ratio much more than most of my other gigs.
The comment was said in jest. I have never met an I banker who didnt think it was funny. You guys are taking it way too seriously. If you would work their hours for a month, you would understand why it's funny.
ETA: Athantos makes one. Maybe it is only funny in person.
