Friend’s older brother worked at a BB for like 8 months and then went back to play soccer. Played USL for a few seasons and is on an MLS roster now. He played soccer in college though.

 

That's amazing! Literally my dream job. Idk if I'll ever have the courage to leave IB (I just started) or any other "good" job to start from scratch and do something on my own. Do you know more about her background, how she started her line and how it's doing now. Also is she based in NY? Would love to know!

 

Guy I know went to play professional football as a QB, then did UMM PE, then had another stint in one of the minor league football team, and went to an EB.

Congress ? 

While not easy to get elected, this is not impressive to me. If you've met and spent time with any members of Congress, particularly Reps in the House, you'll know what I mean. They may know little about a multitude of topics, but lack depth and intellect.

Excuse me, have you heard of Alexandria ocasio Cortez. Take this back

Rick Rescorla went from being a paratrooper in the British Army, to a detective in the Rhodesian police, to a captain in the London Metropolitan Police, to a captain in the US Army, served in Vietnam, earned a Purple Heart, went to law school, and then joined Morgan Stanley.

Andrew Friedman was an analyst at Bear Stearns from 1999–2002, and then was an associate at MidMark Capital from 2002-04. He met the owner of the Tampa Bay Rays in 03, and dude hired Friedman as Director of Baseball Development just cause they had similar ideas about the game. Then, he became GM in 05 at 28, and in 2014 was hired as President of Baseball Operations for LA Dodgers. Pretty sick if you ask me

 

Maybe they inflate titles like VC firms and wasn't a partner in the traditional sense.

 

Ed Woodward worked for JP Morgan in the mergers and acquisitions department as an investment banker. In 2005, Woodward advised Malcolm Glazer and the Glazer family during its successful takeover of Manchester United. The Glazer family then recruited Woodward to join the club in a "financial planning" role. In 2020 Ed Woodward is now the executive vice chairman of Manchester United. God tier level exit! 
On a side note losing 6-1 to Tottenham LOL

 

Saw someone who did BB IB for 2 years then ran his own independent sell-side M&A process ($20mm TEV), probably collected around half a million in fees from that deal all for himself. Jumped back into IB as a senior associate after a year. 

 

too many to explain in detail, to be honest.

here a few brief examples

1) ex colleague who was a contractor at a bank at standard daily rates left to do a stealth startup. After a few short years the company is among the best known startups in the entire nation. they had really intense growth after they launched.

2) a friend left after his IBD years even though he had a promotion waiting. He founded a chain of car dealerships while bootstrapping the whole thing. After a decade he now owns 15, I believe, and also planning on expanding to electric vehicle servicing.

3) few years after I joined IBD an analyst literally flew through the ranks and got promoted way faster than others due to skills, IQ/EQ, deals,... he was a director at.. 28 or so. BB.

4) A family friend has a 2nd level CxO title in NYC within AM. Has been in that role for about a year now. So got to that level around 38 years of age. which is impressive. afaik he reports into the CEOs direct line.
