Banking vs PE

There is not a substantial amount of interest in PE at the junior level at my bank. I’m sure this is influenced by several factors: exit opps, job market, no offices in the major cities

It made me think. Banking vs PE is kind of like p**n. When you’re the banker you’re the video guy, you have to set up the shoot, coordinate it all etc. you might make as much as someone in the shoot but not if they’re stars (UMM/MF). Sure it took a long time to get that one scene shot, but the other people were the ones actually doing the action.

You’re a third party at the end of the day and that’s fine. Who wants to be in the shoot anyways when every girl you’ve shot is the nastiest harriest deal out there? While it may suck to shoot, you can collect the check and go home. You don’t have to live with yourself after the tape like someone actually involved. You think being in the scene is overrated, and over hyped and you have 5 years and $300 TEV in tapes tos how for it on your bookshelf at home (all amateur stuff)
