- Workers who say their job makes the world a worse place: 4.6%
For some investment banking associates, the high pay that the career is known for isn't enough to make them feel good about what they're doing.
"A lot of [investment banking] is people making a lot of money from making a lot of money," said PayScale's Bardaro. "A small percentage of people involved see huge windfalls, but a lot of people [outside of the investment firm] don't see any benefit from it."
