Best Response

Part of me believes that you're trolling, so this is primarily for the +1 banana. Your post, if not a trolling one, seems candid and while that usually merits genuine responses, you'd be hard-pressed to find decent ones when you refer to peoples' hard work and ambitions as "gay shit".

I didn't go to Harvard and I don't work at GS, but it doesn't take either of those credentials to realize that you're acting very self-entitled. Take your head out of your ass and realize that you will never join those "elites" unless and until you make the effort to demonstrate to prospective employers what you can bring to the table. And, at 25, it better be more than the average 20-22 year-old analyst.

Leverage the work experience and contacts that you've (hopefully) built over the past few years, take a modeling course and practice building them on your own, keep up with global Economic news, pick a subject that you enjoyed reading about and delve deeper into it, etc... There are so many things that you can do to get ahead. But, you can start by realizing that the world does not owe you anything.
