People can flip out on you for wearing the wrong tie, a lot of people get yelled at for small errors on projects that will never see the light of day, and one the most underplayed risks is that of obesity.

It is easy to get out of shape in ibanking because of the long hours, the culture which glorifies consumption, etc... there is a lot to look out for in the industry!

Still not sure if I want to spend the next 30+ years grinding away in corporate finance and the WSO dream chase or look to have enough passive income to live simply and work minimally.
