        I saw a guy in a late model Volvo XC90 carrying some Matt Blatt furniture in boxes on his roof recently. The problem was they were not sitting on the roof racks, they were tied with the side of the box flush to the paintwork. To add insult, I figure he picked them up from Alexandria and was driving through the harbour tunnel, so it wouldn't have been too short a trip.

        Just check the price for the 2017 model, Prices range from $85888 to $114900.

      To clear things up, WIB doesn't have investment bankers and most people below directorship aren't paid that well, even after bonuses.

      • WillKillfor5Cents on 11/03/2018 - 11:12

        how much the institutional guys below director level getting paid? I would have guessed close to 150k+?

        • Shiny Mew on 11/03/2018 - 12:06

          Senior managers will be on over $100k but getting to that level can take 5-15 years depending on skill, department and location (much like any other company).

          Working in an institutional bank is overglorified. Yes, the clients are much bigger than their commercial banking counterparts but the salaries don't, of course, grow proportionately.

        • Artkin on 11/03/2018 - 13:47

          Hi there, domestic banks do not pay. They are facing disruption (tech, regulatory, market (ie hpi v. Income growth), competition (esp. jpy,french,us,cad banks)) and are under pressure to keep costs down. Being part of an oligopoly, they need processors not talent, its a captive marketplace. Hence they cannot compete for nor does talent seek out these firms-if talented are graduating into a bad market, grads will stay at said banks for the absolute least amount of time. The highly paid represent a handful of individuals, whoose titles/positions are turned over frequently in line with who has the political upper hand. Mac bank is an exception to these comments.

          Simply thinking of cash when entering such positions is fatal, as those that have a true passion for analytics/finance/law sail away from those hungry for short term cash. They simply dont have intellectual curiosity and hence get stuck in their roles being beholden to institutional 'career management'/gaslighting.

      Yeah, nearly 20 years ago they worked out it was cheaper to make fewer engine models and detune it for the smaller cars.

          @Kampfer:

          That's what all the people with small engines say.

          Inline 4 has vibration problems which limits engine size. They add turbos to boost the stats to something more like a real engine but turbo brings its own problems. Motoring enthusiasts generally don't like inline 4. For somebody buying a 320 or 330 probably doesn't matter, they wouldn't even know what engine they're getting. They probably care more about the paint colour or the seat leather.

          But it was just a throwaway comment. Didn't think it was that contentious. Thought it was pretty well known that 2 litre inline 4 is boring as batshit.
