No one can compete with them, as they have been the premier investment bank for the past ten years.

However if I'm not mistaken, its stock has taken a hit. Kind of weird considering the bonuses .. . .

For a rainy day? I definitely agree. I guess they were afraid they were going to lose talent.

However, I still think that Goldman definitely lost it's mystique after their IPO several years ago.

true ballers dont work 80 hour weeks and answer to the man

I'm on my way to a 40k month on FullTilt poker(excluding rakeback) and i'll make that in only 50k hands or so which equates to about 152 hours of play. which means i wake up at 1 pm, play poker and then go out and get slushed.

fuck the corporate world.
