TIL PE is the sexiest occupation
I would have guessed most people would have considered lingerie models much more sexy than physical educators, but to each their own.
firefighters
actor
Bullfighter.
Host of Top Gear UK
Stripper both male and female are pretty sexy occupations
Most people in the world can't distinguish between investment banker and retail bank teller, so don't flatter yourself.
LOL! I've actually witnessed someone saying an investment banker was a teller. Everyone around them just stared, and at that point I had no words for said person....
Same. Some brain doctor asked a Goldman MD what he did for a living. The MD said that he works at a bank. The dr asks him is he's a teller. The MD tells the dr to stick to saving lives lol.
Fighter pilots
Real life is nothing like Top Gun.
ib must be the least attractive role in high finance tbh lol.
fighter pilot, and its not close.
Product Manager
pokemon trainer (no pidgeys tho)
the sexiest occupations are obviously all outside of the business world.
within business i don't think IB ranks very highly at this point. sure it beats audit and corporate finance at a random fortune 1000 but still low in the high finance hierarchy. the reality is that many people today would consider working in tech, new media, VC, social enterprise, hot start-ups all to be sexier than most wall street jobs. i would agree with them.

Yes, but it doesn't grant you the ability to look down on people with other good jobs.
-90% of hot women don't know the different between retail banking and investment banking (this is in NYC, the rest of the country it might be 98%). -The small percent that do have a good shot at being money grubbing leaches -Working 90-100 hours a week does unsexy things to your body
Tech is more sexy right now by a mile. Being an entry level programmer at Facebook will get you more action at the bar than having your own capital sleeve at a $10bn HF at 30.
I work in finance and think we are in a sort of Web Bubble 2.0. I want to barf when I see a bunch of dope-smoking hippies clad in Limited Too jeans, birkenstocks, designer knit caps, and non-prescription glasses talking about their social mission and profits don't matter while their busted startup is pawned off on a big-tech company doing stupid acquisitions. They ride off into the land of endless arcade fire concerts and poetry slams $50mm richer, armed with a sense of moral superiority.
Tech is way, way more sexy right now
