If investment banks pay such a high salary, why doesn't everybody want to work in one?
Alex
I hear that programmers working for investment banks get salaries like $150,000 right out of college.
If that's the case, why don't they all go to investment banks? Why do so many of them just want to go to Google or Microsoft?

They may not like the work environment. Silicon Valley is the hot spot for programmers and techies. |
