Splitting comments with roommate who works at a different bank?
Has anyone ever done this, and if so, is it wrong?
Long story short, my roommate is at a top BB and I’m at a top EB. If either one of us has to stay up much later than the other, we will split each others comments.
For example, he is finished work for the night and I have 4 hours of work left. I will do 2 hours then go to sleep, and he will finish the other 2 hours of work and send to my associate. Same thing if he has to work later - I will hop on and split it while he goes to the gym or something.
Has anyone else ever tried this? It may seem like a joke but it has seriously allowed us to have much more free time and overall better sleep. It also helps that we are both top bucket so we trust each other.
This obviously doesn’t work for live deals, but has worked very well for the useless discussion materials
Any thoughts?
You need to have an unbreakable vow to make sure this doesn't leak and no one finds about this. Sounds like a good gig if and only if you can trust him to take it to the grave.
My advice: get something over him. Total epstein shit. Let him know if this ever leaks its mutually assured destruction.
Personally I would never do something like this. Downside is infinitely worse than the marginal benefit
Really ? Don’t think it’s that deep. He sinks an hour doing brainless comps and I do the same. Each get more consistent sleep
Did you do compliance training at all?
It already is MAD without him even having to get something over the other guy
Fireable offense dude
playing with fire. lacking integrity.
Yet I still get better reviews than you. You can probably barely put together the SUCAP
More than anything else I'm surprised it helps you so much, because I'd figure there's pretty high frictions to working on someone else's stuff . . like don't you have to know your way around the folder, some time wasted from not being as familiar with the files etc. So those frictions would be a loss and your only gain is a smoothing gain of averaging out your workload each night . . which I see the value of that but isn't actually reducing workload. I guess an all nighter really is that disruptive, even it it means early nights too.
Knowing their way around the folder? A middle schooler can do this on discussion materials
It was an example. Hence the "etc."
I refuse to believe this. It takes so long to get up to date on the context, where everything is, preferred design format...not to mention what you do when your associates call you out of nowhere.
Granting someone at another firm unfettered access to your work email is big yikes energy.
Yes the context is so difficult. Turning mindless comments. Wake up little guy your job isn’t that hard
Wahhhhh wahhhh compliance! Take the tampon out.
This is wild and if you're caught neither of you will have a job in the financial services industry again lol. Props if you can pull it off and it's actually beneficial tho. So you guys just do format and text changes for each other? Feels like anything else is impossible without context (or even simpler, knowing where something is saved on the drive?)
It’s not that hard to see how comps are done at a different bank after looking at it a few times. Discussion materials aren’t rocket science
Do not do this. One of you will probably end up the focus of an SEC investigation. Look up Justin Kim.
Yea the SEC will be livid that I’m splitting comments over ValveCo profiles
Pussies. Sage Kelly’ing work is based.
