Living With IBD Analysts

Hey Chaps,

I'm about to moving into the city with two analyst buddies of mine. I am just wondering if anyone has any experience of living with guys in banking? My hours wont be as bad as their's (buy-side mutha fuckas) so am conscious that my ability to go out, drink, socialize etc.. will be far greater than their's. However I would feel guilty if I deprived them of what precious sleep they have by unintentionally coming in late or being generally disturbing.

So would appreciate any input/experiences you guys could offer.

Cheers

This is the internet, not work, learn to relax.

And you missed an apostrophe on the first word of your sentence. Just saying....

 
michael-wsoIf you are honestly that worried about it, you picked the wrong roommates. They know you don't have the same schedule as them. Assuming you guys are friends, the only reason they might get angry or pissed is cause they are getting reamed at work by their MD

Not particularly worried, just trying to be sensitive to the situation. Trying to make life easier for my buddies if I can, but don't get me wrong, I have no intentions of mothering them, I have my own life to live.

 
designYou can change your name in the user control panel, by the way.

Not anymore... you have to ask to have your name changed. But for this case Patrick should leave it.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

If you know these guys well enough to live with them, why are you asking us? You should be asking them these questions/concerns...
