Analysts are typically 22-23 year olds. A lot of them probably haven't fully matured or are a bit stupid.
So I'm curious, what are some of the most brash things you've seen analysts say or do? Did they get away with it?

Don’t be weak or soft spoken as an analyst. Seniors give a hell of a lot of respect to analysts who eloquently and sternly speak their mind on pertinent topics.
For all future readers; keyword here is pertinent.
saw an analyst just months on the desk ghost their team over the weekend when there were important client deliverables for a live deal. did they get away with it? technically, yes. they still have a job. will they get a good bonus or have any references when it comes time to get a job? nope. younger people don’t realize there’s long term impact and the overall financial industry is really freakin small.
Wait so, no one said anything to them after they ghosted their team?
You sound like more of the jerk tbh. Get a grip, life can be short.

Sounds tragic. Was he that much of a rockstar that he didn't fired immediately?
