Anyone here:
- male
- either in the IB/PE/HF industry or have a job or close to securing one
- someone who drinks/party's a decent amount (or used to)
- is social/cool to be around
- preferably living in a City e.g. NYC, London
?

I have a couple of questions about culture/changing habits from school-->work etc.

If you fit the description above and are willing to hear me out, please drop me a PM or say hi here and I will PM you with my questions.
