The other miss with that same quote is the implication that average salary is the same as average comp. In addition to the base salary, junior bankers typically expect to take home large bonuses--in a good year, sometimes 100% or more of their base salary. While I'm not as familiar with the tech sector, my understanding is that they don't have similarly structured bonuses.
