ugh… sign me up. What do you do? Tell some nerd to build you an excel model and then you sit in your office and tell some intern to plug the numbers in for you? then you make three or four phone calls and go play golf?
how does a job opening like this exist for more then 30 minutes? There seems to be a lot of job openings on USA jobs for finance related stuff… and they pay well.

I used to a bank examiner. It’s a thankless job. Basically, it’s similar to an audit function except you have the ability to tell the bankers to discontinue offering a service, issue fines or shut the fuckers down.

Bank regulators can pay better because they finance themselves through premiums charged to the member banks. They aren’t as influenced by Congress and their spending.
