Are guys who stay in banking just heightpilled?

If ur confident enough and learn sales jedi mind tricks you can earn far more than each finance role possible in ages 22-30y without really even trying. U just get a remote job to fund whatever that endeavor is like btb/aa type newsletters always said when i was in school.

But I’m starting to realize a lot of guys not confident enough to leave banking and not have to rip 70h - alot of those guys are sadly below 5’10 versus majority young entrpreneurs I meet are above said height mark. I figure in that situation its easy to see ur only shot at status being pe/ib?


Valid assumption that heightpill drives this? Thoughts?

height correlation

banking attracts those who prefer the safer road in the first place so i mean its truly self selecting.

I've always thought about it now, but the short-term successful online entrepreneurs are more artlike than technical. Modern marketing is disgusting.
