Phenomenal. I can't believe the high salaries that firms are paying out today. But, it comes at a cost - that is, MUCH MUCH is demanded. Our mobile 24-7 technology creates a space for continual on-demand access. College students today hate email - they are all about texting, Instagram, and other social platforms. The high salaries demand that new hires are ready to perform!
