I've never planned to go into PE. I'll be safe and sound in IBD or some other corporate finance role.
Teach AP econ and coach high school baseball.
Starting to think I'll do that anyway after I get my bonus this year.
Never forget that the financial services industry always finds a way...to make money.

most people don't work in pe. there are other jobs out there.
i plan to travel a little and go to b-school when the market turns. it helps that i haven't spent any money from my bonuses for the past 3 years.

i'm in real estate private equity. promoted once at end of 2nd year to associate and will be promoted again soon (fingers crossed).
