And is GS average pay skewed by a 1% of employees who make globs of money into the 10s of millions in total comp? Do the majority of staffers make normalish wages? Admin assistants, IT, operations, etc?

Anecdotal, but I have had a few friends working in support roles at investment banks making about double what they would make elsewhere.

Not only that, from what I've seen most investment bankers usually end up working 12+ hours a day.
