A good rule of thumb is that the higher the starting salary and the perspectives you have in a firm (average compensation at Goldman Sachs was around 700k US$ / year in 2007!), the more competitive "getting in there" is.
Read this interview with Anton Kreil if you have the time ... Quote " I have heard that it is apparently easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to
get a job as a trader at Goldman Sachs. Is this true and, if so, is there even any point even trying unless you have an incredible personal charisma, an IQ of
150 plus, nerves of steel to do the job and a better sense of humour than all the Marx Brothers put together?"
