I'm an incoming SA at a BB in NYC and am a pretty straight shooter. I enjoy partying and am cool with drinking but I don't smoke or do drugs / weed... I don't want to start doing drugs and I've read the stories of like people shooting up or doing co***ne in the office. Is that still a thing anymore? I'm hoping not...

No wtf lmao. If I took a hit of a vape in the office my MD would have my head
It's not a thing at all. Don't worry about it.
Big sigh of relief honestly
Idk what you're reading but none of those stories are true
He should be more worried about the other analysts fat shaming him if he doesn’t also do 18:6 intermittent keto or run half marathons on the weekends
Be ready to shoot up at the top of every hour... caffeine that is...
This i could do haha
you're a spastic if you think people are shooting up
HBO’s “Industry” is a fictional story, relax
as stupid as this sounds, thank god haha
is it ,is it really?
Worry more about surviving a fat markup at 9PM on Friday.
Just a markup at 9PM on a Friday? More like bids due Monday 9am, with the PE fund you’re advising going to IC sometime over the weekend and asking you to run all possible iterations of the model they can come up with...
I mean, yeah — 9PM Friday markups are rarely logo arrangement with a loose deadline...
Why else do you think all the juniors are butt chugging ketamine and mainlining fentanyl at their desks?
Shooting up? Wild that this is a part of the rumor mill today.
If you don’t smoke crack during your Superday it’s an instant ding
How do people that have this kind of questions get offers for SA at a BB in NYC?.. I've met so many brilliant people who dreamed about IB but never got any offers from any IB shop in any location, but a guy who thinks that bankers have to "shoot up" joins BB in NYC. Crazy.
Dad is prob an MD at the firm.
This is always what I think for these stupid questions... how the hell did OP get BBSA if they are retarded enough to make this post?!

Most of the homeless druggies in NYC are ex bankers. I thought everyone knew this.
Shooting up?? Dude no one shoots up lol. People definitely love the uppers but I'll say that if you're not cool with it, you'll likely not be approached about it as people definitely know who's down and who's not. And if you're not down you won't be ostracized by any means so don't worry.
It's well known that heroin is to IB as steroids are to bodybuilders, look at all those middle-aged moms hooked on pain-killers running billion-dollar processes.
Is it? That's news to me. I've always seen either blow or addy/vyvanse usage but literally never in my, albeit limited, five years on the street seen continued heroin usage. Definitely some oxy from some but no shooting up.
I think you should practice "shooting up heroine" at home if im being honest. Just like that one guy from the other thread that practiced sleeping in a car for an internship. Can never be safe enough.
What kind of straight shooter doesn't like shooting up at work?
Why did you enter the industry in the first place if you do not like hOoKeRs aNd CoCaInE?
