That's a very strong starting salary, $70K out of college sounds as if you were both recruited and came from one of the more prestigious undergraduate Finanace programs? Stern? or one of the Boston programs?

Cmon you dont need anyone to tell you thats a good salary.

$70K, fresh out of college, finance major. You're working as an analyst in investment banking in one of the financial firms like JP Morgan I assume?

This guy (OP) has history of asking the most superficial, mundane, easily-reasearchable questions on this forum.

I can't help it but to wonder about the hiring manager's ineptude to detect this, paying a kid with those traits 70k fresh outta college.
