I love what we do. We play a vital role in our nation’s economy. I love the title “banker”. I’m proud to be a part of an industry that’s as old as human civilization. I’m proud to work at a global institution. Yet all I see on this site is people talking nonstop shit about banking and how it’s pointless and we’re paid too much and blah blah blah. I fucking love what we do and can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

If you’re genuinely happy why does it matter what everyone else says? It wouldn’t affect your supposed joy for the job, you’re An2 so if you still feel that way stick around until it changes. Nothing to discuss here
cmon cuh
LOL…tf??
Glad you’re proud of what you do… but also dude wtf
I think one thing that often gets ignored and forgotten on this forum is that two analyst can have extremely different experiences in banking based on team, firm, location, industry, the overall market, etc.
Glad you enjoy it, but there are probably some analysts who are going through hell and back
This post has a weird sensual twist to it
I bet the kind of explicit movies you watch involve some kind of gimp
You love working 80+ hours a week and getting your weekends blown up just to make model scenarios that make 0 sense but look pretty enough to show a client? Couldn't be me
.
Yes to your first paragraph. That’s what I meant
The way you worded this post is weird as hell and makes me think it’s a troll, but I agree I actually enjoy this job through the ups and downs, and I don’t really see myself doing anything else.
