Boys I’m living the IB life rn

Deal flow Is down;

Corporate is paying for my travel expense des for training

Group got to decide where to go for “group training”

Getting absolutely fucked up rn every night at the club with my MD, life is good.

I hope all of you are able to get the same experience. IB is a grind, but when your group is nice it gets lit. At a tropical destination, been going out every night, tabletop bottle service every night, I love this.

Wish the best to all of you. Love you boys and girls

What you’re describing is NOT the “IB life.” What you describe is a glimmer of normalcy in the long, arduous slog known as banking. Grabbing drinks and socializing is what young people do and should do, something that IB allows virtually no time for. Excel, Red Bulls, Anxiety, No Sleep, 80+ hour weeks, and let’s not forget: The Money —this is the “IB life.” Don’t for a second forget that shit.
