Boldest Analyst moves you've ever seen

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?

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.

 

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