Hard to say if any of them are bankers, as most apply the media formula (finance involved = banker, to them). First one is clearly an accountant (Big 4). Might as well be back office. Second guy probably sells insurance but even if his claims of "managing money" (which everyone with a debit card does, yes?) are true, that would make him an investment manager. Since it's not 1982 anymore, stock brokers are not only useless, but generally clueless...especially about stocks.
What you have described (investing money) has nothing to do with investment banking. Er go, you are now qualified to write for every major newspaper in this country.
Quite accurate from the equity sales & trading side. Most of those guys are one bad day away from selling used Kias. Probably the one part of a bank where having a stain-free shirt makes you look snobby.
1.) we're not an apple product 2.) you've mistaken me for equity capital markets. 3.) this is probably as close as anyone is going to get...so congrats.
Well if nothing else you are in good company with your media brethren in having absolutely zero clue as to what an "investment banker" even is or does. Pro tip: unlike the persons quoted. investment bankers don't give you free calendars and pens.
