I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay
Yes.
No shot, no one on the desk has cut up abbs like Bateman and VPs can hardly get a reservation at Guy Fieri's Flavortown in Times Square, let alone Dorsia
Do the MDs have luscious grey flowy hair like gordan gekko?
It’s based on a true story
Certainly not, but you can certainly start with wearing the white collar, blue tone shirt on your first day. Set the tone early brother
.
When I was young, I asked my brother who worked at CS at the time about why Patrick Bateman seemed to work so little in the movie. He replied, without skipping a beat, 'that's the most unrealistic part of the movie'.
It’s interesting they kept mentioning accounts like “the fisher account”. I know the business cards say M&A but sounds more like WM to me. All he seemed to do was meet people for lunch which could check out for WM but not really a VP in banking.
accounts are very much an m&a thing
The most unrealistic thing gotta be the own office. I worked together with tons of bankers on sell and buy side mandates and (at least in the video call) the majority of them always sits on some open space with headset + people walking by them in the background. Even the directors.
bullpen blues
Far from it.
For every Patrick Bateman, there are 20 fucking nerds.
