Which groups in an investment bank have a higher average GPA?

[wkdwnstjdTprtm]

So I have been asking myself this question for a long time... Just wondering which groups in an investment bank have a higher average gpa:

Quantitative Research, Investment Banking Division, Sales & Trading, Operations, Legal, Risk Management


My guess, based on experience, is (from higher to lower):
1. Legal
2. Quantitative Research
3. Risk Management and Sales & Trading
4. Investment Banking Division
5. Operations.

What do you guys think?

Not necessarily a meaningful comparison. The investment bankers often have liberal arts degrees where grades are easier to come by and harder to compare. Lawyers are a mixed bag. Some are 4.0-types. Operations people have varied backgrounds - I have met several who never attendeded college but have become successful nonetheless. Quants usually have great math grades but often have mediocre grades in other areas.

No intent to be mean but... what's the point of this question? Genuinely interested.

Grades are usually not correlated with salary.

aren't "guess" and "experience" completely different?

probably the same reason why people keep asking those stupid IQ questions on quora...
