He, however, did not disclose his actual earnings in the video. When asked about the key to achieving such a high income, he emphasized the importance of education and being in the right place at the right time. He further explained that aspiring investment bankers need to start early and gain substantial experience through internships to succeed in the field. When Monga asked if professionals in New York earn more than those in London, the banker noted that salary comparisons between the two cities are not entirely fair, as the salary scales in New York are significantly higher.
