You obviously don't go to a target.
they always ask me the same
they always ask me the same shit, "what investments should i make".
plus, they think i make a lot of money, and the more live deals i am on, the more money i will make as bonus. yes my friends have little knowledge about IBD. i have stopped explaining primarily because i am tried of it.
- if i meet somebody for the first time who has little idea about finance, and they ask me what do i do, i reply i work in banking
-if i meet somebody who works in consumer or retail banking, and they ask me what do i do, i reply i work in M&A to get some attention
- usually when somebody asks me how was my day, i always give the same generic response "same old shit".
hope that helps.
