If investment banks pay such a high salary, why doesn’t everybody want to work in one?
asked:
I hear that programmers working for investment banks get salaries like $150,000 right out of college.

If that’s the case, why don’t they all go to investment banks? Why do so many of them just want to go to Google or Microsoft?

Some people prefer not to work in criminal enterprises.
Because a lot of people find that kind of work boring. A paycheck’s nice, but if you hate what you’re doing, you won’t do as good a job, and you’ll be miserable. And the corporate culture can be stifling if you’re not the buttoned-down type.
They may not like the work environment. Silicon Valley is the hot spot for programmers and techies.
