getting fired for not doing shit
so i was just wondering.
How far would you have to go to get fired form an investment banking job ?
I mean say your an analyst, and you dont completely fuck around but you still just coast.
Im talking about just laeving early whenever you can, handing in mediocare work ? Why would this effect you. Any way you have to leave in two years and im sure with good i banking experience you can talk your way into another job
why don't you find out and tell us? :)
"I mean say your an analyst, and you dont completely fuck around but you still just coast."
A sentence like that would get you pretty close to getting your ass kicked--and no I'm not talking about your profanities. Remember: detail is key.

well in a good year you will keep your job as long as you breath... in a bad year you will get the boot no matter what.
trust me, no analyst will break or make a team, and therefore not worth the trouble of firing you...
most people think firing people is like ..WTF...and the boot!
There is actualy a lot of paper work, and a lot of questions from senior mgmt on why, justification, legal...etc...
^ Good point. But surely if you're not contributing to the team, paying out thousands of dollars is not worth it?
The first half contradicts the second half entirely. While you may work on some deals, etc. the more "mediocre" work you turn in the less people will want to work with you on deals and from my understanding, if your staffer doesn't trust you then you are just going to get shit work...so no "good" experience plus a potential pink slip in your file isn't likely going to equal an easy walk into another spot.
...oh, plus you will be sad and lonely because none of the analysts in your class will speak to you, unless its of a profane nature while they have your head dunked in the toilets of one of the stalls. Good luck!

Getting fired for not doing shit is a phenomenon effecting all professions.
at my bank at least, during good/average times you wont get fired, but you'll get a shitty bonus, wont get offered a third year, will have all your coworkers hate you, and will be first in line for layoffs if they ever come
I've known associates who coasted by relying completely on their analysts. It's hard to tell.
But if you don't want everyone to hate and utterly disrespect you, try hard and offer to help. Even if you don't have the best natural attention to detail or aren't naturally bright - if you put in the hours and help others and don't fuck around when everyone else's jammed, you'll generally do fine. In fact, you'll be respected more than some know-it-all whizz kid who leaves at 9 pm.
what about if you play dumb to get out of doing work. Like just pretend you dont know what they are talking about so that the associate has to do it...
no one actually gets 'fired' in IB so you ll make it two years..you wont work on the best deals but you ll work on some and if your a smooth crimal you can leverage that to move to KKR or Blackstone?
What do you guys think >?

...fairly easy to coast in an okay market or at a shitty bank with below street pay and a ton of turnover
but why would you want to? why even take the job if you have no interest in working..
most people take the job for two reasons and two reasons only..the pay and the business experience...
how much do you think you're really going to get paid (no i'm not talking about 100K, im talking about 300K+) if you do shit work..
what kind of experience do you think you're going to have if you just coast?
...what's the point of going through the motions in banking..just to see your peers rise above you? have your superiors scowl at you and ignore as they pass your lazy ass in the hallways?
why not go industry, work 40ish hours a week and call it a fucking day instead of dicking around on WSO asking retarded ass questions...
yeah but women dont get wet when you tell them you work a 40ish hours a week job !!!
