Career Resources
Had a gf the entire time I've been in IB - we met while I was still at uni and we were long distance to start. Honestly has been great, not had to worry about going out and dating, we set boundaries early on in terms of when I could/couldn't see her/call etc, and the distance gave me an excuse to block off a weekend to spend time with her.
bro nobody ever had a girlfriend here
No, most analysts are virgins or become revirginized during their IB stint
investment banking is my girlfriend
I do not have a girlfriend, it fucking sucks I always was a guy who had a girlfriend during college/late HS and I definitely miss that companionship. Ended things with my last college girlfriend when I started because she was still in school and I try to squeeze in hinge dates whenever possible but I never have time for it to turn into something serious. Most times I ever went out with the same girl was like 8-10x early on in my first year and then it fizzled out when I got slammed on a deal and accidentally ghosted her for two weeks, 2-3 more average but it never goes anywhere because you can basically only see them on Friday and Saturday nights so its very hard to move past the "dates" stage into an actual relationship. Most analysts do not have girlfriends unless they moved to the city with their girl after college. Probably my least favorite thing about this job. It does get better though I see VPs and up pulling some total babes way out of their league...
For sure man. Thanks for the feedback. Follow up question for you.
Is it common for a girlfriend to move with their analyst BF and live with them in a new city?
I would say the answer to that question really has nothing to do with IB culture, just a factor of all the normal reasons a couple would stay together after college-- probably pretty common if you've been dating for 2+ years and see a long term future with aligned values etc.
I’m an IB analyst & my bf is a PE analyst!
Goalsss

How's your sex life?
Most analysts in my class did have GFs.
Did the girlfriends move with their analyst BFs and live with them?
