One of the worst parts about this job is being dismissed by other people who aren't in banking as some sort of demonic, capitalistic ogre. We are people too, the world needs Investment Bankers (actually tho), and we care about people too.

Truth, but when did wolves become concerned about the thoughts of sheep?

I think a lot comes down to lack of understanding and major negative bias. When was the last time someone thanked the underwriter on a muni deal for their town’s new parks and playgrounds? Or how often does someone actually get into the details of what the mutual funds in their retirement fund are holding or trying to accomplish? You only ever hear about Bernie Madoff or Lehman Brothers or HFT=bad.

Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?
