My MD was Sleeping with an Analyst

That's a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen (read: Christie Brinkley's husband and 19-year-old Diana Bianchi). Sleeping with a subordinate of a much lower paygrade is bad news.

is this analyst hot?
describe the features -big tits, cute face et cetera?

She would be considered pretty hot outside IBK...meaning not just relatively hot compared to other i-banking chicks

When there is a hottie (or almost hottie) on the banking floor, she can easily "awaken" the senses of every male banker she passes. Since none of us see daylight beyond our computer screens and occasional lunch outside the building, it's easy for any decent looking woman to seem like a possible romantic alternative to 90 hour weeks alone at the office.

this thread is worthless without pictures

they should create an alternative position for the hottie females so they don't draw from our bonus pool.

the alternative position for hotties is called PA, personal assistent.
A dumb hottie will work as PA, marry a MD
A smart hottie will work as a banking analyst, sleep with MD, make VP, burn out
A really smart hottie will work as PA, marry a MD, divorce him after 6 months, go live on the islands.

(NT)

all are just jealous b/c you can't get any.

Who cares if she is sleeping with the MD? Jealousy will get you no where! Just be thankful you have a hottie working at your firm. Unless you want to work with all guys...

...kill me.

I would say a good 80% - 90% of those in IB (male and female) were considered 'below average' in the looks/ personality department in school etc. The rest of us are just freaks of nature, the exception to the rule: looks, smarts AND personality? We're just not playing fair....

sounds to me like this situation could be a whole lot worse and will just make you work harder to get ur associates attention. most def. could be worse.

dont believe that this md will stay for long

In IM (not not IB, I know) we had a chick sleeping with someone 4 grades lower. She finally got sick of him, printed his e-mails to her (idiot) and had him fired with the threat of a lawsuit.

Ouch

^ but yeah ouch can't believe he got fired

that guy got shafted

It probably happens more than people know, and is just well covered up

I'd say it almost never happens. Way too risky...

This discussion raised an interesting point of workplace relationships, but I am wondering if those happen alot? What is the ratio of females/males from your experience?

^To GameTheory: If you don't mind me asking which i-banking firm do you work at?

Hope for the best, expect the worst. You aren't necessarily in this line of work to meet women on the job, although if you do, its a fantastic bonus.

that is hot

I work in an IB and see hotties. But the general view is stay away from them. In the long term they are money hungry. Better of getting a non IB chick.

Don't shit in your own backyard. Sleeping around at work is always going to end in tears. Hell a lot of girls are out there looking to hook up with guys in IB so it shouldn't be too hard to go outside the company.

That being said, my parents met at work. In fact my old man would probably be done for sexual harassment nowadays for what he said to my (soon to be) mum. Ahh good times.

why do they want to hook up with guys in IB. That would just make them money hungry.

A lot of the ladies in my company look quite attractive. So I wonder are these women hired for their brains or looks.

There should be a calendar with Girls of iBanking.

With both people working all the time, I guess they have a very understanding relationship. It is difficult for someone outside ibanking to understand the NEED to work long hours.

"why do they want to hook up with guys in IB. That would just make them money hungry."

You think there are girls like this out there??? Holy crap!

You think there are girls like this out there??? Holy crap!

I know there are thats why I am saying why advertise you work in an IB. If you do that all you will get is gold diggers who think you will be millionaires.

Where as most of them will burn out and only a few good ones will make the cash

Sex in your cube is the best sex ever!

yes those who want to marry an ibanker, are money hungry, same thing goes for those who want to marry a lawyer/doctor. Sure they play it down saying they want them because they have strong ambition and the drive for success...but who are they kidding.

Personally I'll just go with the "I work with excel." or stick to the old "I don't like talking about my work"...or just say weird ass jobs and see what their reaction is.

haha... scotty knows my one, i just say that i'm a teacher... with no cash.

I agree that relationships must have equal understanding, and no one will understand a banker like a banker. If i ever divorce and marry an IB chick, this will be my justification.

I don't know about any of you, but I've heard of some firms that have specific recruitment policies in place for targeting attractive female talent... ie it has been formally said (internally at least) that they are looking to increase the M/F ratio, and in so doing will be looking at recruiting "suitable" female talent - most of the interviews will be conducted by the h*rniest guys in the place for example... that's just plain sad.

Anyone else hear similar "policies" being in place?

(As an aside, one of my friends, who just happens to be a "suitable female talent" told me she was basically asked out on a date during her second interview with a particular firm... now that is doubly sad)

Here is my 2c. As a female, I think that those of you guys who pretend to be a teacher or in any other way mask your income are making a huge mistake. Income is a part of a male's beauty. Would you date an ugly girl with a great personality or would rather go for a cute chick with not-so-great or no personality at all? For women it's just the same, it's just that women do not look for breasts and legs, but rather for wallets, even if they say the opposite. It's a basic instinct. Nobody wants loosers. You got to understand - they do not wnat your money, they want **a man with money** - which means successfull, strong, reliable.
And, just for the record - I'm married to a not IB/doctor/lawyer :)

you sound like a gold digger, just my 2 cents

Let me guess, married to an RE/entreprenuer type?

Whatever, dude. I don't care how I sound as long as my marriage works out. But I can tell you something ... I've seen a lot of guys in their 40-s and 50-s who are loaded, have dream apartments and houses and yet lonely and desperate, and the only reason for that is that they see a gold-digger in every single woman who dares to ask about their job. They basically fail to develop any meaningful relationship because of that. If you don't want to become one of those you might want to learn how to take it easy. Good luck anyways :)

yep, entreprenuer. However, when we got married his net worth was negative. I recognized the potential.

nice.

The only unattractive female bankers I see are the older ones. All the young ones look pretty decent.

What bank do you work at...couldn't be further from the truth where I work.

Associate sleeping with his secretary. All pretty common no?

How about an analyst sleeping with her staffer and getting top bonus...glad I'm not in that group.

nothing wrong with spotting gold diggers, I sincerly doubt those guys that have all that money are stupid enough to get into a contract where they can lose half their assets when the woman gets bored(there was a study done, that said that attraction lasts 4 years, long enough for the family to make a child, and for the kid to be protected until he walks)

Personally I see no reason for men to marry at all. Guys have everything to lose, and nothing to gain in marriage. But hey you can blame the women friendly court system.

Example: This guy I know, was married for 12 years. 2 years into his marriage his wife was in an accident and lost her legs. She got stuck on all these drugs and became a violent drug user. He pretty much did EVERYTHING around the house, and raised the kids, and brought all the income into the house.

2 months ago they divorced(her initiative). She got to keep both of the kids because she claimed that he hit her(farthest thing from the truth, nicest guy I know, and in their relationship she was the one always throwing shit at him), and she got to take half his stuff/savings, and the house.

So now he is 35 years old, can only visit his kids once a month(maybe twice I'm not sure), has to rent a shitty apartment since all his money goes to paying the alimoni.

Anyways to end the rant, there is absolutely no reason to get married, there is nothing to be gained by marriage if you are a man.

Sex? With today's promiscious women, and your huge wallet, you'll have no problem getting laid.

A wife to take care of you when you are sick/supplement income? Why can't a GF do the same?

Someone to cook/clean? Most women don't do that anyways.

So you say those guys are lonely and desperate, why because they choose not to commit themselves to a contract that was designed to fuck the man over?

Oh and another thing, prenups don't work. They are constantly getting thrown out of court because the woman can always claim she was forced to sign it under duress(sign this or I don't marry you)

Did you ever consider that wealthy men make poor choices in women that they marry?

As a female who will be a banker next year, I am glad I don't need a man to buy me stuff and I can be discerining. But honestly I know so many gold digger chicks. And they tell fellow females way more than they will ever tell guys.

All you banker guys, go and find the prettiest grad student you can find. She'll probably be suspicious at first, but once you break her down, she'll be happy that you can fund her intellectual endeavors and NGO work or whatever she ends up doing, and your kids will be smart instead of Paris Hilton types (her mom was a B-list actress/bimbo).

yes they do when they think with their balls instead of their brains. And what makes you think a grad student won't be a gold digger either? Think about it...most people at grad school go on to make a ton of money...my sister is at Cornell and she tells me of a ton of her friends whose plans are to go to grad school to find a husband...not to get a career.

And speaking of career women, you really think the kids will be smart? Please...career women have no time for kids, since work always comes first for them, so that ends up with the kids getting raised by the idiot box.

I mean lets take ibanking for example, you come from work at 2 am, kids are long asleep, who was there to help them with their algebra?

I didn't say bankers should marry other bankers. I said a wealthy man should marry an intelligent woman. The likelihood that a woman getting a PhD in English Literature would be a gold digger is slim to none. Otherwise she wouldn't waste 5 years of her life reading books in the library and doing resesarch when she could be "working" at an art gallery or a PR firm.

Plus...umm grad school is hard work and hard to get into. Gold diggers don't like hard work, that's why they want to marry rich instead of make money for themselves.

grad work differs depending on what major you are. Business yes its hard. But english grad work is just more writing BS.

and intelligent women tend to be the femminazi type, "WHAT! You bought me flowers, you don't think I could buy them myself?"

But hey all women are crazy...and the ones that aren't are just putting on a facade in order to get the guy hooked.
