I asked ChatGPT what’s wrong with FirePower this is what it said

“Based on the replies in the provided Wall Street Oasis forum, some users have expressed concerns and negative opinions about working at Firepower Capital. It's important to note that these opinions are subjective and may not reflect the experiences of all employees. Some of the reasons mentioned include:

Culture: Some users claim that the work environment at Firepower Capital is toxic, with poor management, long hours, and high turnover rates. They argue that this can lead to a negative experience for employees.
Deal flow: Some users mention that the deal flow at Firepower Capital is not as impressive compared to other firms in the Canadian IB/PE space. This could affect the quality of experience and learning opportunities for employees.
Lack of prestige: Firepower Capital is not considered a top-tier firm in the Canadian IB/PE industry, according to some users. This can affect the perception of an employee's experience and potentially limit future opportunities within the industry.

"Manlet" reference: One user mentioned that they had a negative experience with a "manlet" (a derogatory term for a short man) at Firepower Capital, who they claimed was insecure and aggressive. This individual's behavior allegedly contributed to the poor work environment, although this is just one person's account.”
