As a token of appreciation for working 100+ hour weeks for over a year with no incentive bonuses nor perks to juniors, here's an actual token for all employees with the founder's face on it! I truly wish nothing but the worst for senior management and their families. What am I supposed to do with this?

This is so vain it's both comical and insulting hahaha
Fucking lmao...
Dude it has ur name on it.. take it down for your own good? But that's comedy HAHAAHA. sorry that it happened to you.
Steve McLaughlin is the founder / CEO
Do you actually think they're taking the time to engrave each and every coin with the appropriate junior's name on it?
Where do you see any names? The picture in the post doesn't have anything.
That's what I'm trying to figure out...are we retarded
Fellas, banking is truly dead.
I would legit throw it in the trash and make sure people see you do it.
lmao
It’s time to go the No Country for Old Men route. Next time you see him, ask him what’s the most he’s ever lost on a coin toss. Then, proceed to tell him to call it. If he asks what he’s calling it for, advise him he’s been putting it up his whole life - just didn’t know it. Hope it goes in your favor.
Epic comment.
Have you tried melting it to see what metals are hidden inside?
Lead and Mercury
I wish i could SB haha
I have been holding off on leaving until bonuses hit, but may have thrown that through the glass door of an MD's office and walked out if I were in your shoes.
easy answer, do what Kanye did to his grammy award, toss it in the pisser and take a leak on it. or dump depending what kind of mood you're in
If you did any due diligence you would know ft partners has a trash reputation for treatment of juniors. This should not be surprising
Anyone have a source for this? Really curious...
What do you mean source? They literally included a picture in the post lol
This is worse than the GS fruit basket
Well have you tried eating coins. Debatable
Is this real? Sending employees a coin with your face on it seems like the most vain thing possible...right out of a movie.
That my friends is not a gummy ...
No way this is real. I find it hard to believe that management can be that tone deaf in this environment.
Haha “Limited Edition” - as if Steve has his own mint churning these things out on a regular basis and there is a “standard” edition.
The “2020-2021” makes me think there might be another one next year...
Just texted a few friends at FT and heard that they're trying to get this to the presses given how crazy this is.
Been hearing some rumors from friends at the firm that the CEO is getting a statue of himself built in his office - only rumor though - I'm sure it'll be on WSO if it's true like this coin lol
I'd be surprised if any media outlet published this, FT Partners isn't known by the public (and it's mostly known only as a meme by bankers), so it's likely not newsworthy enough.
The book and the bowl - Liar's poker
I guarantee you the CEO got bullied in high school. This is way of flipping off the people who did it lol.
I mean it is a gigantic lapse in judgement thinking that the juniors would appreciate this, but I bet he sees himself as the GOAT much like DJ D Sol does with the music
Most of FT's management come from GS originally so the apple does not fall far from the tree...
...the book and the bowl...
Too bad this didn't happen to a bigger name firm - FT Partners isn't "newsworthy" enough for this to sweep through the mainstream media.
Seriously feel so bad for anyone there though, this is horseshit.
LOL can hopefully make it to litquidity though. Know a few analysts that are trying to get this on there.
This was indeed on litquidity earlier
Reality is stranger than fiction. If this were on a show like "Billions" everyone would lambast how unrealistic and "Hollywood" the writing is.
Put it in a vending machine like Walter White did with the big eyebrow car wash owner's first dollar in that breaking bad episode
The gift basket expires...coins don't, you will have a part of him forever hah. For sure there is a 2022 version coming.
How much do you want for it?
Opened this thread with the expectation of OP getting cryptocurrency
Same
Wow
because picture is worth a thousand words
edit... link invisible... so go to youtube and /watch?v=g6QRDwwwpd0
Create an NFT of it and offer it back to the CEO.
wow. just wow.
This is one of the funniest and most vane things I've ever seen
Lol come on at least send a fruit basket...
If you don't mind me asking, do you get good comp / bonuses at FT? I interviewed there but didn't get the position. Seems like you guys should be pretty well-comp'd considering how hot fintech has been recently and the fact that FT closes a ton of deals.
Got the offer and turned them down. 85K base. Bonus is standard. Don't do it
Lot of work but the first year bonus was 50-85k with the median probably 65 or 70k. Most BBs aren't even near there, a few boutiques are higher
Heads - you're a punk bitch working 100hr+ to enrich the MDs/Partners
Tails - you're a punk bitch working 100hr+ to enrich the MDs/Partners
Has anyone sent this article to Dealbreaker? I think Dealbreaker could make a hit out of it.
Richard?
is that one of those decentralised shitcoins
I'd definitely hold onto that man, just wait until 2034 when SteveCoin is the most valuable crypto
Did you guys get bonuses? Like the normal kind in terms of base + bonus kind of bonus?
Bump. How's people at FTP doing now?
