Absolutely love banking

Been doing m&a / ECM for 2 years and am one of the few analysts who absolutely loves it. For example:
- get a kick when I get a complex model working / make something from scratch
- absolutely killer when seniors take me out for a client meeting and I get to exchange business cards and contribute to client discussions
- love it when I get praised by VPs/MDs for being a 'good guy' and 'sharp'
- feel great when I need to teach / explain stuff to interns and new joiners (no arrogance, treat them with complete respect)
- love seeing the new analyst / intern class every year - smartest graduates in the country, all willing to give everything to succeed (though quite a few give up in 6months)
- enjoy working with lot of different teams in banks to meet more and more TypeA people, see how they react to situations and how they operate in life in general
- love networking all the time and increasing my contact base
Is this weird? For me it's hard to imagine life outside the bank / finance industry anymore in general...






Congratulations, there are
Congratulations, there are few people in the world that can say they truly enjoy their work. You found your niche, embrace it. Who cares what other people think/what is weird. That being said however, make sure you work to live, not live to work.

also make sure to hit it and quit it when you're slamming the bishes, they get clingy with bankers cause of the prestige they emanate

I also love presentations. But the model buidling is my crpytonite. My first assciate in ER wanted me to do a simple DCF template for a security he was interested in. I went total ape-shit! Built an entire macro with all the bells & whistles. The guy called me into his office and flat out called me a freak. Good times!
