Marijuana Deals
Throwaway account for obvious reasons.
Rising junior right now. Over the past summer I worked at a boutique investment bank, where I worked on a marijuana deal (legit company, not potheads). Would there be any negative stigma if I included that on my resume?
I'm aiming to work at a BB next summer.
I think this is actually very interesting. I can't see it being a problem at all unless you word it like an asshole on your resume.
You're right. It was incredibly interesting (obviously didn't expect this back in February). My only concern is that some of the older people at firms I hopefully interview might scoff at this (and obviously there's still that stoner connotation with marijuana, even though it doesn't apply to the client at all).
I'd think they would realize that it is in fact a new/growing market, and there is money to be made there. A good deal is a good deal
^
Money to be made. You would be surprised at how many of those "older" people are closet smokers. That being said, tread carefully and be very aware of how you word and frame it.
I'm just curious how you would frame it?
Do not use any slang terms, minimize how often you actually use the word Marijuana, and focus heavily on the fact that it is a new and burgeoning industry with strong interest from investors.
Tell them how awesome the closing dinner at Taco Bell was.
LOL this is great
Transaction Experience: Assisted in the sale of Half Baked Incorporated. Helped the client achieve a dank selling price that was 420% above book value.
Say cannabis and not MJ.
El Chapo Capital Partners?
Anyone else have any opinions?
Dude this would be super interesting in an interview. And if you're in an interview with a 60 year old who you can tell isn't reacting well to the news and you feel like you need to distance yourself, just acknowledge that it's not an industry that you endorse, but at the end of the day money is money, a deal is a deal, and a client is a client. You wouldn't tell Phillip Morris to fuck off, and they have much worse social externalities than a weed comp.
But I think this would be a refreshing and interesting deal to talk about after doing hours of interviews and hearing the same thing all day.
Thanks for the response. Would you recommend putting the company as a marijuana company on my resume, or listing it as a CPG/pharmaceutical producer, etc.?
Change your name on your resume to Walter White. Then people will take it seriously.
Made some precedent transactions last night.
