> I know plenty of unimpressive people making $500,000 or more straight out of MBA school. I assume that's finance. Is it trading, PE, IB or something else?

  I assume that's finance. Is it trading, PE, IB or something else? All of the above. It's harder for an idiot to get rich in straight trading, because there is a merit factor in that game. PE is a big one. Lots of highly-compensated but unimpressive people in that industry.

    There is maybe one person per year without PE experience hired into a PE firm large enough to pay someone straight out of an MBA $500k. Maybe one.

      I'm talking about all-in numbers, not base salaries.
