You give them too much credit; check out twitter.com/GSElevator for typical banker humor. Bankers pride themselves on borderline-sociopathic cynicism mixed with arrogance and workaholism. It's not pretty.

I don't think there's any real proof those tweets are submitted based on real experiences, to be fair. I know a few bankers, and I've spent holidays with them even. The ones I have seen are pleasant, polite, and more than willing to talk about things other than money/politics/things they're typically stereotyped with.

Not that I'm saying they're all like that. But they're not all arrogant or cynical. Maybe workaholics.

I'm not a banker and never wanted to be one; but some of the things on that feed are hilarious.
