    More suggestions from your lazy audience:

    “Where to work” amount depends on number of employees and salary grading structure. Median salary might make more sense to a job seeker as top management could be earning millions – yet paying regular guys peanuts.

    Comparing the total wage bill to size of bank or top line (gross revenue) can give an indication of cost effectiveness of a bank (rough indicator if bloated workforce or not).

    I think a Loans to Assets ratio can give rough indication of risk exposure…

    UrXlnc: thank you

    Mark Grimes: no bank as far as I know, just a few funds and partners that may try ICT

    Maishinski: thanks, i must keep up with my industry and this ‘diary’ helps me keep track of who’s who
    – branch and staff info, is a bit harder to come by, except for the listed institutions

  7. just what?

    Thanks once again for the great info!

    On a side note, todays business daily (friday 5/9) reports that the number of bank accounts has increased three-fold, from 3 million to 10 million. Does this correlate with your info?

    if so, what will the mid-term effects of this revolution be?
