Being obsessed with Prestige has saved my life
Incoming Investment Banking M&A Summer Analyst at BB here, and as the title states prestige has saved my life. My parents and friends think I'm too materialistic now and they're right. All I can talk about is superficial things like clothes or what Bank I work for and how it's so much more superior than X.
When I was gunning for IB it took up a lot of time. I had no time for other interests, but I learned the value of prestige. I feel like a massive asset to the company now in self-reflection as I've looked up to people for choosing prestige.
Prestige has saved my life. It's true what they say, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a yacht. If you're not working for a prestigious bank, you're missing out on the yacht life. You can't spell 'success' without 'deal sleds' and that's the world we live in.
I don't look down upon people who don't pursue prestige, I'll just be looking at them from the corner office with a great view. They say money can't buy happiness, but have they ever tried buying a Lambo? Because that's pretty damn close.
Prestige has saved my life. And if you're not living a prestigious life, are you really living at all?
Turned my troll post into a further troll post, A+
Only thing this is missing is how it’s shielded them from layoffs as only lesser banks have done layoffs
tl;dr: I'd rather cry inside 200 West Street than anywhere else
Why the fuck does this post have so many helpful SBs? Starting to think not everyone realizes this is satire..
As a wise man once said, I don't ever try to look down on anyone.
It's just really hard not to since my corner office is on the 29th floor.
The most prestigious job is a family office with your last name out front. Or not needing a job at all
Really? In investment banking you won't really be owning any yacht til you are mid 30s or 40s. Keep it up buddy.
Whoooooosh
My brother in Christ, you are spot on. Prestige is life. Money buys happiness. Would you rather be crying on the street or crying from your balcony on Billionaire's Blvd while throwing poop dollars at homeless people? I'll take the latter, thank you very much.
What an electric sentence. Holy fuck.
Instant classic post, OP.
