Chief labia inspector
His rich daddy gave him an office where he sits and does nothing, and collects a fat cheque.
He does nothing, contributes nothing, accomplishes nothing. It's the root of his identity issues.

The root of his issues are that he's a sociopath whose brain is wired up wrong. People like that don't care if they get paid for doing nothing, in fact they likely feel they deserve it.

murders and assassinations
That's not even a word!
The book and movie were a critique of yuppie culture and corporate fratboy mentality. Bateman needs recognition and validation. Craves it. Is so desperate for it that he confesses to his murders, but his true self cannot be seen through the veneer of his public persona. His comeuppance, his punishment, is that he is so unremarkable that he can't even face consequences for his actions when he wants them. He is denied a purpose.
I gotta ask, did you watch the movie?
Nice
His desperate need for validation doesn't stem from having a high-paying but worthless job, it comes from his abusive, neglectful childhood, like 99% of real life cases. He despises his father, yet knows he would be nothing without his father's wealth and connections, creating an agonizing cognitive dissonance. The book makes that abundantly clear, it's an outlet for BEE's own frustrations about his shoddy childhood like so many other controversial novels
