However, say that I want to just coast through life working in financial services at a good company. It seems that back office will let me do that. Do you have any idea what determines promotion within the back office, and what kind of salary I can expect to cap out at? Any idea what lifetime earnings will be in the back office compared to the front office? Just looking for work-life balance, in favor of life. Thanks a bunch. Hi Brian,

Everything has upsides and downsides, and banking is no exception. The quote was to illustrate how many people have false views, and the information provided was intended to show exactly how those views are false. Furthermore, if you read through other articles on my site you will see that I give a very accurate picture of what the lifestyle is like and don't sugar-coat anything.
