Investment Banker or Lawyer

For job satisfaction become a teacher or a doctor.

Both are very stressful jobs...you can't really distinguish, and the job satisfaction depends on yourself, do you crave success? do you like helping others?

Just out of interest, which of these two is less stressful if you are working for the top companies in each field respectively? Does either have a greater job satisfaction than the other?

indeed, for job satisfaction only you can answer that question

however, neither of these rank very well by most peoples' job satisfaction criteria

i dont know which country yiu are wrining from but in england there is no such proffesion as a lawyer.

I'd think being an investment banker for a top ("bulge bracket") organisation would be a lot more stressful than being a solicitor for a top ("magic circle") firm, particularly since the degree of volatility and uncertainty is greater in the former field, and the cost of putting a foot wrong is typically higher.

In his defence, the term lawyer refers to anyone with expert knowledge in the field of law. As such, it includes both barristers, solicitors, judges and academics. Some go so far as to argue that it includes law students. To say that one may be a lawyer working for a law firm is perfectly acceptable.

EDIT: If one were to be a stickler on this, the words yiu, wrining, england and proffesion are all either spelt incorrectly or are grammatically incorrect. A pedantic point, I know, but so was yours.
