Play on a competitive sports team, have older brothers, join a fraternity, have very close friends that give you a lot of shit, all the same idea here and will develop thick skin for life, not just for working in finance.
You’re kidding, right?

start the insults coming i need this
You can start by not asking people on the internet to hurl "insults" at you via a keyboard
It comes down to not taking things personally and not having an ego. For ex. if someone yells at you for making a mistake and its a stupid mistake, learn from it, dont do it again, and move on. On the flip side, if you feel you're right about something, and someone gives you shit...have confidence, nod your head and move on.
