My 300k is 1/3 in private stock options which may not actually become money for another 5yrs, if ever. They don't accept it in exchange for homes and my 200k income isn't enough to buy a home, esp given there is a mass layoff every 7yrs. House prices go up more than the down payment I save each year so I get further from owning a home. Oh, and the east bay is about 2hrs fro SF so I'd never see my kids even if I bought a home
To be fair "elite" here means a child care facility that can stay overtime when I am stuck in the office on production duty till 9pm, which is like every week. This isn't a government job where I'm guaranteed exit at 5pm on the clock.

Goldman equity was less than what they would have lost on AIG CDS so AIG bankruptcy meant instant Goldman bankruptcy.
Why do people develop loyalty toward the groups they join? Evolution? Reciprocity? Indoctrination?
Either way, not unusual. Happens all the time in the military ("no such thing as an ex-marine"), around football clubs ("once a red, always a red")... pretty much everywhere there are humans, especially men in high-pressure environments.
"During that time, the New York Fed's chairman, Stephen Friedman, sat on Goldman's board and had a large holding in Goldman stock, which because of Goldman's new status as a bank holding company was a violation of Federal Reserve policy."
In the world of regular employment, usually they don't. But in the tight-knit circle of CXO-level personnel of major financial institutions that may not be the case. It strikes me as a club, and to stay in the club one must help other members of the club and practice a bit of "omertà."
I can tell you why...at my
Last firm, the "first submitting agency" was tied to your name on FieldGlass. You could not get around it. It was the only system you could hire thru firmwide.
