He said he "only" earns 100,000 a year which is nothing. He said he was able to look at the salaries of colleagues which ranged from 150.000 up to 1.500.000. As far as he told me "it's all negotiation", he said, that they lost their consciousness about money. Maybe I should just switch to banking? I met a banker last year on holiday in September.
