IB BEHAVIOR?

Hello,

A friend of mine goes ludicrous on weekends... His behavior is typical (meaning it happens every weekend)... For example, he took a corona from a woman and chugged it in front of her. Shortly after, he threw down a $100 bill and said thanks. Obviously, this was before he got kicked out of the bar we were in. This was a nice place, in TriBeCa, and I feel that he gets too drunk.

I want to know if this is how an IB should be? He claims he works crazy hours and it results in this. He seems to be focused on materialism and pop-culture rather than social concern.

Any takers?

Yep, it surprises me how many people have to learn this one the hard way.

Yeah lol...Or some higher ranking associate or VP steps in and belittles him in front of everyone. That will humble him real quick.

Big S. D.In developed places like Europe and the US you don't get your ass beaten in clubs by bouncers, do you? That's in Russia and places like that....
Ehhh, it's kind of a function of how much you piss them off. Typically they just throw you out. I'm sure it happens, but I've never seen it.

A lot of the bouncers in London are meat heads who look for any excuse to fight. I've seen them steal drugs off people and then give them to their buddies, sucker punch people, start verbal altercations for now reason, etc.

Being an analyst and making 100k doesn't prevent you from getting the shut kicked out of you. Your friend will learn his lesson someday and someday soon.
