Outrage At BarCap

Screen shot 2009-10-02 at 10.52.13 AM.pngJust who does Bob Diamond think he is, some overheated junior rainmakers at BarCap would like to know? Salaries for IB first years are apparently being upped to 70k while S&T employees (3 months counts) are remaining at 60k, a “snub” (obviously not my words) they are “none too happy about.” What are they going to do about it?


Piss and moan to this here website that’s what! I hope you’re listening, Bob (you’re lucky we’re blocked at Barclays for spreading truth, otherwise they’d second their outrage in the comments and maybe make veiled threats of offering up crotch shots of senior management). You better come up with something fast because short of mass produced autographs from Phil Mickelson, it sounds like they might walk.

    Ok, you pathetic little 23 year olds. After taxes, the diff b/t 60 and 70k is not a big deal, you are likely to hate your job and leave in 2 years anyway, and you likely don’t even know what the difference is between capital markets and inv banking at this point anyway. So gfy

    70k…60k?
    Some people at other places are making 50k..because of the recession! But the company has enough money…it can even pay for the surgery that Tits Cabrera needs to lift those puppies!

    Is this $70K a quarterly compensation figure? Sounds low.

    Now if you really wanted to make an impact by throwing a shoe at a public official or speaker, a gold shoe with spikes (preferably metal but plastic is good too I would imagine) is probably the most effective shoe to use!

    traders shouldn’t have publicly discussed my move. IB guys would never do some BS like that.
