Guess the Python was useful? From an FT article:
>In 2011 Goldman Sachs put its top computer wizard, Armen Avanessians, in charge of the division. He has helped turn round its fortunes. The arm’s assets under management reached a nadir of $38bn in 2012, but it now manages $91.8bn...
Wow hope OP got a chunk of that!
It's a bank, so probably his reward for good performance was 10k at Christmas.
Hahahah 10k maybe if he was a new intern. Off by an order of magnitude

You may have dropped a couple of zeroes there.
Maybe that bank is more generous. The one I worked at begrudgingly counted out the pennies like it was coming out of the war orphans fund or something.
He's doing his job, which is to ensure people have the tools and resources available to do their jobs. You know, furthering the goals of the organisation.
The OP said he told people openly that Armen told him he could do it when asked.
This makes no sense to me, what’s the upside to Armen? If he is business savvy, he needs to be gaining something in exchange for having his name thrown around by OP as signing off on this.
