I know this is subjective because some places are much cheaper than others for COL.
BUT, I would love to just hear some stories on whether you heard your VPs or MDs talking about their houses, or if you’ve personally been to one.
Just want to try and gauge an idea of what some of these guys can afford.
Thanks y’all.

VPs - why are you so poor
During covid they would make us have these happy hours and I had the following:
And then me, poor analyst with camera on and working in the background with no chance of even getting a drink before two more days
Damn house in the Hamptons? He must be out of NYC I assume then.
That’s ridiculous. Thank you for sharing
VPs are poor dude... b school debt, kids to feed, rent to pay...
Not all VPs go to B school haha
Senior MD / Partner-level people are the only ones that seem to have truly nice houses.
In London all the Ds and Junior MDs are still living in 2 bed flats...
God that’s kinda sad
