Lmao I'm gonna hope this is somewhat serious so imma answer
No it won't. If you're a nerd before, you're still a nerd now, just with some money. You won't have time to spend the money, or even spend time talking to girls. Plus, your base salary after taxes and rent isn't that much, in the sense that you can't buy tables and bottles everyday like the trust fund kids.
There will always be someone more attractive / charismatic than you, and if there isn't, trust me there will ALWAYS be someone richer.
Don't go into this job thinking you'll get girls, best case you earn enough money for a high end escort
He is right. Plenty of incels and geeks in banking. Being in banking with middle-class after tax pay doesn’t change anything. You need to change yourself.
