Well, what's the point of this salary if you probably have to pay incredibly high rents and work 80 hours a week. I know a few people who were at Goldman and described the atmosphere as very positive, but after a few years it was enough for them. It would be interesting to see how much hedge funds (especially quantitative), VCs etc. pay.
@KapriolenCapital Unfortunately I don't have any figures. I only know that quantitative hedge funds pay a lot. If you do an internship at D. E. Shawn & Co, for example, you get 13k as a trader. As a quant about 15k. Source: own experience
