So how do all these guys that are directors (senior vps) that run desks at major banks only twenty-six? Did they become an associate after only one year? Did they make VP in three? I am just wondering how the super exceptional standout and outpace the normal promotion timeline.





4 ways
Some combination of one or more of the following:
1) Are intelligent
2) Know somebody
3) Did really well at their job
4) Are just lucky
more than likely they knew
more than likely they knew someone and were able to lead to a deal early on in their career... if you can convince your MD that it is worthwhile to pursue a deal and the deal falls thru as a result of your tireless efforts you will not only get promoted quickly but u'd make a shit load of money... that's the differentiator btw the boys and the men in any analyst class
sth you forgot...
..you forgot those that sleep with the MD...:P:P:P..lol!

Outsmart the risk managers
Figure out a trading strategy that takes on risks that are not measured well by your risk management department and bet big.
