“Don’t tell people you work in IB/PE”

It’s hilarious the main crux of the rational for not telling people is that folks outside of finance “don’t care what you do and don’t understand it”. I totally agree and I think people in the industry are even less impressed it. As someone who’s in banking, really not that impressed if someone tells me they work in investment banking.
