Tell them you’re joining Renaissance Technologies
Absolutely you can. What in the world would be holding you back if you won’t re-enter the industry? Just hope someone you tell doesn’t have a friend at one of those places.
This is certified dork behavior but do whatever you want, it's your life.
Or I’m just a lazy Gen Zer who wants to mog on these corporate bots stuck in the rat race until they’re 59.5 yo lol (includes you bro)
You earnestly using the word "mog" shows that you are a dork and a loser.
If you were a real AMOG you'd know jestermaxxing on an online forum is sad.
You aren’t mogging them if you’re lying. Then you’re just a weird loser. If you think it’s mogging them to up tier and you’re actually leaving for unemployment then that makes them the moggers - and you’re some guy who got frame mogged out of the picture
I mean, technically I suppose so, but you'd really just be letting them win by doing this lol. You hate them so much yet you're still trying to impress them.
The alpha thing to do is just own your decisions.
I beg to differ - we are all insufferable crimudgeons (prob spelled that wrong) hyper-fixated on the concept of elitism - give them an internal tantrum
crimudgeons
This is soy behavior
If you really hate them it’s probably mutual and they will figure it out and clown you lol
I guess that is what the crux of the post is getting at. How would they figure that out that I don’t work there? Especially if I don’t post it on Linkedin or be a dumbass.
If your name is uncommon they could use an email address validator to test with the firms email format. This would be really weird though and I guarantee they will forget about you the next week
Ever heard of broker check? Lmao
or just redirect this energy into doing something better / more aligned with your goals? Definitely sympathize with your situation but given finance is such a small world, as hard as it is, need to maintain your reputation and image. But if you're pivoting to something completely different long term and / or you're financially stable, then ignore.
Yup, I don’t want to tell them I am leaving with no plans, as that might come across as strange. But why would they think I’m lying as I see no reason for them to suspect me of lying?
Tell them you're going to Tel Aviv
.
I am scared of golden handcuffs and there are a million other ways to make money.
WOWWW
1) what is a middle market bulge bracket???? You mean middle market JPM or do you mean a key bank (not a bulge bracket) or a William Blair (not a bulge bracket)
2) You lying about where you go next is super cringey. It’s not cool in the slightest if you’re not even THAT guy that is leveling up. I won’t comment on what that says about your individually integrity. I won’t even comment about what it says about your personality! Think through how weird it is to be able to lie to them with a straight face, trying to sound smug and condescending, with the lie of a more prestigious offer when in reality you’re quitting to down tier.
3)They can find it out on broker check in a month. So if you want to just be a corny slimeball who gets figured out by them and laughed by your Middle Market Bulge Bracket bull penn then go for it
Only financial service firms show up on broker check, right? If I say a tech firm or something like that, that won’t show up I believe?
Wouldn’t show up. Still is squid behavior.
If you think it’s cool to tell them you’re going somewhere better and it’s just a lie, then the reality is you’re the opposite.
