+30 Milana - thank you for publicizing the story, but there are a few critical missing pieces. I understand that you likely do not have anyone on the record yet, so cannot say anything outright, however: Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+29 1) You piss people off in some way, usually an attitude issue, breaking social corporate norms or horrible work product (like not even knowing excel but that can be salvaged with a good attitude and politics). Analyst 2 in IB - CB
+29 I love military mindset. And I don’t mean this in an ignorant way, I never served. I love the clear demands. This job would be just as effective working 60-70 hours a week vs 120. Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+24 This post reflects a dumb line of thinking espoused by Gen Z’s and sometimes Millennials. It all boils down to misguided thoughts around being your “authentic self” or not “code switching”. Manager in CorpStrat
+23 This is fake. am_5

+21 Congrats on the search fund! Prospect in IB-M&A
+21 He is right but missing the point: Europeans are not innately lazier, they are just not incentivized to work harder given absurdly high levels of taxation (and more prevalent welfare state) and lower paying jobs and overal Analyst 3+ in CorpFin
+21 pov: OP’s secret gay boyfriend plays lax at uva Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
