Where do those who failed to become an investment banker go

second dumbest fucking post ever...

UNC chapel hill

suicide/mcdonalds are the two most popular options...

i don see anything wrong with this post..` once an i**** says this is a dumb post, everyone says the same

may you know?

no, you may not

big4 accounting

Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me
C.R.E.A.M.
Get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all

if you don't see anything wrong with this post, then you are an asshole. refer to the first post of this thread "what do they do? 10 per hour jobs?" 10 dollars per hour jobs? You mean like working at costco? So in your mind it's either costo or goldman?

what the fuck do you think 99% of the rest of the population do? die off from inferiority?

hahaha....LOL

CREAM, is there anyone that doesn't end up in big 4 accounting? You've already sent short people and once-was/never-was I-bankers there. Guess they will save money on headhunters and other recruiting efforts considering they will be overwhelmed with applicants at this rate.

the original post is dumb as shit.

You go into a less well known bank, less successful hedge fund, or corp. finance or dev.

You have tons of options, and will likely make at least six digits in any of them after 2 years IB and business school

they find bridges to live under and become trolls, happened to a good friend of mine.

They generally end up living lives of mediocrity and earning a laughable salary all the way through to retirement. Remember Monkey Business: the guys who own those big houses on the water in Greenwich are investment bankers.

that quite literally made me laugh out loud...

Though to be honest I can be sympathetic with the post, before I started I had this all or nothing mentality but now I realise it's just a job, one with significant downsides as well as upsides

agree

LOL

they disappear into an abyss

They live very happy lives and pursue something they actually enjoy and not just for the money (i.e me and law school)

Yeah, terribly worded question and the op is a moron for the $10 an hour comment. But, this is a legit question.

I will admit I was in corp fin and then a boutique IB that went bust. I am now in finance at a F500. It is a good gig and allows me to pursue other interests. It's amazing how much happier I am not being beaten down at work every day. That being said m&a is still a huge interest of mine and I'd like to be working in that capacity somehow down the road.

what the hell is that supposed to mean?

and stop posting just for the sake of it, WSO could do with less users like you

i failed to be a i banker and now im a hedge fund analyst

here's what i tried to write. what the hell is that supposed to mean anyway? you're bashing unc because it's not an ivy league school?

well, in the defense of the op, investment banking as an analyst is close enough to a 10 an hour job for his confusion to be justified

chill out Rwhite, that's not what I'm doing. My school is known to have a small little rivalry with UNC. You might've heard about it.

Didn't know that you went to duke. Most everything I've seen written on here about my school is bad just because it's not an ivy league, which is ridiculous because plenty of kids leave Kenan-Flagler and go into IB, even to BB's.

Someone's insecure...

Good for you my man. I am looking for my exit as well. At the end of the day, it is the pursuit of happiness, right? And a lot of things IB might be, it does not bring happiness (i.e to normal people, I hate those f*kers who seem born to take it up the butty and have a huge sh*t eating grin while they get a new ahole ripped by some insecure VP in danger of losing his job and therefore eager to 'add value'.

sorry for the rant people, my post probably was not a whole lot of 'value added', but I guess I should get used to that being around so many bankers all the time.

(* its just been a bad day, and this is the best I could do, other than actually jabbing a pencil into someone.)
