Analyst under 21
I’m an incoming analyst at a MM in NY later this summer and I will be 20 years old for about the first year on the job.
My SA was virtual so never really a problem then, Tips for connecting with the team better/ not being awkward if I can’t go out? Do they card or not really care if you just look like the other guys you’re going out with?
Go out - order a Diet Coke at the bar and call it a day. Nobody will ask and if they do, just say you’re underage and they’ll likely laugh about getting turnt when you become of age. Under no circumstance try to use a fake at a bar - but if it’s an informal thing where alcohol is generally available at the event, it’s fine to have a drink.
Went to school in nyc and legit used a fake at all the bars and clubs i went to. Only had it snatched once. Maybe i just got lucky, but even my friends used fakes and we were fine ?
I think they're referring to don't use a fake ID in front of other bankers. Sure maybe they could be cool with it but the downside is a lot worse.
How were you able to get a FT FO job at 20?
Perhaps he / she studied in the UK, where you start university at 17y/o and complete your undergraduate degree in 3yrs. Quite common here for people to start work when they're only 20y/o, although I can understand it being somewhat of a novelty in the States.
I know a guy going into banking who graduated high school at 16.
You’ll be fine. Either you’ll be at an event where the bartenders just assume you’re of age or someone will be buying a round of drinks and no one will notice. Don’t call attention to your age and no one will give a shit.
Agree with the above on not using a fake. I wouldn’t care if an analyst used a fake, but I could see one of the VPs or MDs being dicks about it.
also, at most group outings to bars, one person orders drinks for a bunch of people....so in that scenario, just ask whoever is ordering for a beer....common smooth beers that all bars have are Heineken, Stella, BlueMoon....and these all taste good (not bitter like an IPA...not crap like coors light or bud light)...or just order a diet coke...or say you are dehydrated and order a water with lemon
