This has to be sorted out.

Investment banking is easy and for not so intelligent people.

Any child who can work with excel and knows basic math can do it. Imagine having difficulties with a DCF - you would have to be completely retarded. When will they finally be replaced by algorithms?

Investment bankers and their clients don't want cynics like you around the office. Go be a philosopher or a movie critic. IB is definitely not for you.

Dear OP,

It appears as though you've taken a wrong turn and ended up on WSO. Allow me to redirect you to a forum where you'll be surrounded by like-minded individuals: https://www.reddit.com/r/virgin/

Please stay safe.

"nok15105" You and yo momma so poor she fucked the MD to help you get a job where you currently trade props.

Which is surprising that you got the job anyway. With an attitude like this, how did you even get past the first round interview? I am very curious.
