The industry was roiled in March when junior bankers at Goldman laid bare the rigors of Wall Street life in an internal survey. The analysts complained that they worked nearly 100 hours a week and slept an average of 5 hours a night to deal with an “inhumane” workload and “unrealistic deadlines.” They said their work hours had negatively affected their relationships with family and friends.

Goldman trailed its big-bank rivals in raising junior bankers’ salaries, but the firm’s starting salaries now exceed them. JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley lifted salaries for younger bankers earlier in the summer.
高盛在提高初級銀行員工薪水方面落後其大型銀行競爭對手，但現在高盛的起薪已經超過了他們。摩根大通、花旗集團和摩根士丹利今年夏天稍早時提高年輕銀行員工的薪資。

The investment banking industry can afford to be generous. The business of advising on mergers and acquisitions has been red hot this year, with the global deal volume having a record $2 trillion in the first half of the year. Investment banks get paid lucrative fees at the close of transactions, and larger deals yield more dollars for compensation.
投資銀行業可以慷慨一些：今年併購顧問業務炙手可熱，上半年全球併購交易金額達到創紀錄2兆美元。投資銀行在完成交易時獲得豐厚的佣金，規模較大的交易可以帶來優渥的薪酬。
