Duh

And to all the people who were truly enthralled with this guy...well sorry. Was it entertaining, I didn't think so. Was it douchey ? Absolutely.

 

Right. Next the Times will write about how the guy who writes LSO isn't actually a banker. SHOCKER.

Currently: future neurologist, current psychotherapist Previously: investor relations (top consulting firm), M&A consulting (Big 4), M&A banking (MM)

Ha, there's actually a bunch of great nuggets in there. Here are some others I liked...

Along with the "Act like you've been there before" one, this one is hitting pretty close to my life philosophy:

Measure yourself only against your previous self.

Some other good ones:

It’s okay to trade the possibility of your 80s and 90s for more guaranteed fun in your 20s and 30s.
When in doubt, always kiss the girl.
The cliché is that having money is about not wasting time. But in reality, money is about facilitating spontaneity.
Staying angry is a waste of energy.

If she expects the person you are 20% of the time, 100% of the time, then she doesn't want you.
Drink outdoors.
 And during the day.
 And sometimes by yourself.
Eating out alone can be magnificent. Find a place where you can sit at the bar.

And this one reminds me of one particular WSO user...

Feigning unpretentiousness is worse than being pretentious. Cut it out with the vintage Polo and that ’83 Wagoneer in Nantucket.
 
Mr. Lefevre was offered a job as head of debt syndicate in Asia at Goldman’s Hong Kong office in August 2010, but the offer was later revoked, according to people at the firm who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter. Mr. Lefevre said his previous employer contended that he was bound by a noncompete agreement and “things turned nasty with my old boss and he threatened a lawsuit against me and Goldman.”
Mr. Lefevre, who started at Citigroup in New York in 2001 after graduating from Babson College before moving with the firm to London and then Hong Kong, said that he was inspired to start the Twitter account in the fall of 2011.

Winners bring a bigger bag than you do. I have a degree in meritocracy.
