IB TikTok-ers make me question my decision to work in finance
I absolutely cannot stand these people—their posts are incredibly cringeworthy. Just saw one that said “None of the people on this plane even know what EBITDA is.”
Do these people exist at real banks? I have trouble believing their coworkers are cool with them filming their work all day.
It is not uncommon to have professionals who believe they are "better than anyone else".
This could happen in big law, medicine, finance, corporate management, ..
That kind of behavior often disappears after they had a few missteps or other personal issues over time.
And arrogance doesn't help in life at all. One day these folks will say the wrong thing to the wrong guy...
I think most of those posts are satire
The fact that you can’t understand simple satire is a bit interesting
No, most of these are definitely serious and completely insufferable -- see @jblitzz @buysidesteph and some of the posts on @overheardonwallstreet
Lol buysidesteph worked at galaxy digital doing crypto IB or some nonsense then went to Coinbase to do buyside… not sure what is buyside about it. Lmfao this sounds like a fiction book the more you think about it.
You'll hate but they're both very accomplished
Jblitzz is one of the youngest VPs there and is one of the fastest growing Spotify artists and most well known surfers in finance
Buysidesteph is in a good spot. Everyone was giving up on Coinbase but they're back on the upswing and corp dev at those companies will open up paths anywhere in tech or fintech
Ok the “EBITDA on the plane” post was definitely satire. But yes for sure others are not. Can you blame them though? It’s clear that they post because of either two reasons
Can you blame them?
Yeah I can blame them, their videos are annoying as shit and make us look cringe and insufferable to the rest of the public
Yes, society admired and loved investment bankers before the tiktokers ruined it.
yes they exist. no, everyone else clowns on them. they're making content for college students / LARPers / people that don't work in finance
.
Found the plane tiktokker
don't worry about them, they're BO
I came from medicine and trust me it’s way worse there. At least you don’t have people in finance thinking they’re “holier than thou”
But the doctors of social media are absolutely terrible.

Funnily, making IB videos on Tik Tok could net you more cash than working in IB. People are after the money and the fame and the vanity. Tik-Tok-er being like "I adviced on a billion-dollar-deal blah blah blah", then more attention, more followers, more $$$$$ coming your way. All IB-ers should start doing it
