Dating While an Entry-Level Grunt
Just take a few seconds and peruse through Bain or McKinsey’s employee reviews on glassdoor.com. Indeed, it does not take long for one to realize that consultants work extremely hard, and often spend a majority of their time on the road. It’s also no secret that analysts and traders work a grueling shift- we’ve all heard of, and maybe even lived through the horror stories of sleep deprivation nightmares.
So say you’re in your final months of college with a relatively great offer in hand. Your parents are proud. You feel accomplished. The problem is, you’ve been seeing a girl that bakes pies like Paula Dean, but has the body of Kate Upton. So, my question is, Is it even possible to keep this near perfect 10 happy while you grind out your entry-level years? Or, should you cut your losses and avoid burning a bridge?
I would normally reserve a topic like this for Sunday Fun Day, but are analysts seriously destined to adhere to “MOB for life?”

Exactly.

This is quite a scenario to be worrying about. But, how many guys are lucky enough to face this kind of scenario - dating a 10 and landing a BB IBD / MBB consulting offer at the same time?
In the end though, your career >> girlfriend. When you make VP in IBD at GS, you can still end up with tons of hot girls who are into your money and status. A lot of times, getting hot girls is about your dough and your game. One great thing about being a guy is that you can be old(er) and still get fresh hot girls left and right. Look at Donald Trump and Hugh Hefner.

You mention her body looks like Kate Uptons, but what does her face look like? Do not under any circumstance dump her, let her dump you. This will make her feel guilty and she will be back for booty calls.
Third prize is you're fired.

Assuming you're not full of
Assuming you're not full of shit and are actually dating such a girl, you're almost guaranteed to lose her either way. You're going to be working too much to entertain her (and let's be honest, if she's that hot, she's almost certainly going to be your run of the mill American princess that expects to be doted on). If you take a less demanding job, you'll probably still lose -- you'll have more time to spend with her as a regular 9-5 chump, but you won't be making as much. Her options will increase as she leaves college and starts to get serious about settling down, probably with an older man who makes more than you. If she's not in college, it's sort of a miracle that you're even dating her to begin with unles you have a trust fund.
In fact, not to be brutal, but if you're a regular guy who is "merely" smart and going to a target school or whatever allowed you to land a job at a BB, your relationship with such a woman is probably nothing more than a dating market inefficiency that is on its way to be corrected. Not trying to be a hater, but I've seen that happen a million times.
Fuck her as many times as possible, take some pictures if possible, and then accept the BB job.
