The total revenue of some of these companies is absolutely just mindblowing, normalized by number of employees even more so.

I checked a few days ago and the revenue per employee at big tech is eerily similar to "Biglaw" and non retail banking (Jones day, >200k entry level, goldman is similar) at 1-2mil per employee. One could argue the market for IB/trading has been saturated by applicants for years but they pay is still well above norms ~>150k entry level. Pretty interesting.

Revenue isn't profit. Now show profit/employee.
