Even with your edit, you still don't get it. McDonald's employee's don't make > $50 an hour. No one can make $300k+ working at mcdonalds, even if they work 24/7

Even with your edit, you still don't get it. McDonald's employee's don't make > $50 an hour. No one can make $300k+ working at mcdonalds, even if they work 24/7. Even if you worked LITERALLY every single hour of the year (8760) minimum wage would get you to ~63.5k. That's a far cry from 300-500k
Any banker type that says something like that is an asshole or is really bad at math. Assuming he's a competent banker he's probably not actually bad at math and is just an asshole.
- storgendibal 12y agoNo, you don't get it. The point is that is working insane hours worth the hourly wage you get in finance.
- clarky07 12y agowell it doesn't help your (or their) point when they underestimate the hourly wage by an order of magnitude.
- storgendibal 12y agoI don't disagree. The point was directionally correct, mathematically inaccurate.
- asmithmd1 12y agoOne other possibility: Wall street banker types think minimum wage ~$100k per year
