With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.

Summary

This quote suggests that, in the presence of bankers, the perception of success is based on how much one can keep or withhold rather than how much one is willing to give. It implies that a culture of greed and selfishness prevails within this group, where individuals prioritize their own interests over the idea of generosity or cooperation.
