vegetarian bankers
this may sound really stupid but, I was interested in knowing if it’s bad to be vegetarian to become a banker, just culture wise and to get along further with peers at banks?

Why does this matter? Why is this a post? If you don't eat meat don't eat meat. If someone makes fun of you for not eating meat. Okay so what.
questions like these are why vegetarians/vegans have a reputation for being pussies
I don't understand the point of this post
I think these days firms are super cognizant of different diets, and at company parties/meetings you'll fine foods ranging from Kosher, to vegan, to regular foods.
The only way this harms you is if you brag about how you're a vegan, or bring it up in a condescending way like people who aren't are worse people.
At Evercore, all non-ivy leaguers are considered vegetables, if that counts..
Why does it matter? Are you going to start eating meat because your colleagues do? Jesus man, who cares what you eat
lmao this is great. so I was born and raised vegetarian cuz of Indian/Hindu stuff, but I’m not religious at all so I had no particular rational aversion to eating meat, but I was vegetarian just cuz it’s what I was used to. I started my BB role out of college and for some reason I got invited to a lot of client dinners at fancy places where the only real options were steak and fish dishes. sometimes there was a decent veggie option but I shit you not more than once I literally got handed a steaming dish of assorted vegetables like broccoli, carrots etc. with maybe a sauce on the side. One of these dinners I got fed up with the veg menu options that I just ordered a steak. my MD and VP looked at me with wide eyes cuz they knew I was vegetarian and it was a running joke that I had never experienced the “heaven of a steak” and they wanted to be there for my first. Anyways yea so from that point on I just started eating meat whenever I felt underwhelmed with the veggie option. I’m still vegetarian like 80% of the time in my life but I flex to meat whenever it seems much tastier at a particular place. only for when eating out tho cuz I have no fucking clue how to cook or make meat shit as per my childhood.
anyways just wanted to share that anecdote. no one really cared that I was a vegetarian, just some light ribbing that was at worst maybe the butt of a couple jokes.
I sometimes eat lettuce with my steak if that’s what you’re asking for
George Soros is a carnivore of the highest order. Eat a pound of flesh a day unless you want to be a ten tick scalper. I’m only joking. Eat whatever you want. Just please avoid hot pungent smelling food at your desk cos that is the only thing that would bother me.
How do you know if someone is a vegan / vegetarian?
Don't worry, they'll tell you.
Vegetarians are usually chilled about it and will raise it up if you’re getting food. Vegans on the other hand the second you met them they go: “Hi it’s katie, nice to meet you, have I told you I am vegan? Do you want to join the cause?”
