why the fuck are you even on this site if you do nothing but spew bullshit

 

And why would the candidate be honest about it? Not like the interviewer has the means to verify things. Unless it's a Bill Hwang level blow-up, chances are people have no idea what really happened. Some of the worst performers at my previous funds had no problem moving on, so long as they knew how to pitch themselves. Industry is full of bullshitters if you don't already know.
