Fake it till you make it

This might rub some of you monkeys the wrong way, but there’s a lot of people in IB/PE/HF and various other finance industries that have literally horrible financial knowledge.

They don’t know finance, they aren’t a quant, and generally make life harder for many of us who work hard and have to cover slack on their part.

It’s okay to not know things, but when you act like you’re Ray Dalio and the work you’re producing is equivalent to my cousins coloring book drawings then please have some sort of FEEL!!!!!!

Ask questions, learn, don’t be a smart ass. I was an idiot at one point too but cmon people.

Do you guys feel the same way or am i just working with an arrogant mfer.
