LOL so I guess you say these types of things in real life????

 

“Don’t look back” is also overused when discussing school x vs. school y.

 

Everything is good in moderation.

WSO has a bunch of overachievers who consider anything less than being top 0.001% in the world to be embarrassing.

Eg hating your life and doubting yourself because GS/MS/JPM rejected you and you are “STUCK” with CS/UBS type of bank. If that isnt complete BS idk what is.

I rant about this often and my advice is, again, to take everything in moderation. Looooooots of life-changing, useful info but also lots of BS

Tl;dr im a bit off topic but Prestige.

made new unrelated account - dont reply or message as i never use it.

"Hey guys considering applying to these firms could you rank them based on lifestyle, comp, dealfow, hours, pay, etc: proceeds to name 15 banks that work on very different deals, focus on different parts of the market, different cities, etc

or the "Hey so haven't heard back from HR in like 30 minutes after the interview, am I going to get hired? Did they like me? Did I do well? Should I follow up with HR? Should I ask my contact what the status is? Anything I can do to make sure I get selected? Should I visit the office and ask? Should I write a letter?" and on and on and on

 

Those guys who use acronyms to look cool. I get that it’s easier to shorten phrases like “Goldman Sachs: Technology, Media and Telecomms”, but honestly these guys think throwing a couple of choice acronyms suddenly makes the author seem all cool and shit. Especially when it’s someone not yet in the industry asking a genuine question.

“I’m at GS TMT, and I cannot stress how important it is that ur from a HSW background. I interned at HL, GS, MS, JPM, DB (mostly worked on M&A although also did a bit of RX and LevFin) all at once. I practised sitting in front of a screen for 29 hours a day and I literally invented DCM and the entire concept of PE. To get back to your question of whether or not bankers get a decent work/life balance, I earn 50k a day so fuck u lol lmao rofl.

Ps. Fuck Jefferies.”

The average guy would have a very hard time figuring this out, so please for the love of god, give simple answers to simple questions.

 

A banker can't do that since a banker's career is essentially taking something very simple and over complicating it so that they can convince potential customers to hire them to deal with this very "complex" problem.

 

Spot on. At least 50% of finance is confusing terminology and unnecessary complication

 

I wish there was a way to turn on notifications for a post without this, but right now it’s the best way
