Can tell you have more estrogen than testosterone simply by asking that question…
You must be from Nataxis…
I'm pretty sure there is more estrogen than testosterone considering how it mostly recruits Ivy nerds
Has to be O&G IB
Yeah or natural resources / metals and mining. Have the impression metals and mining teams are especially fratty
Non of the top banks (particularly BB). Most people I know there are very nerdy. Same holds also true for consulting btw. Always have the heuristic that top shops get progressively less fun. The frattiest / most fun / laid back cultures I observed at boutique type of shops that take in "lower calibre" candidates.
It's no coincidence they don't win good mandates and never run lead left on any major deals
Back office @ BMO.
Axe Capital duh
Yes, nothing more testosterone producing than sitting at a desk for 16 hours a day.
Whichever bank has the most amount of Chloe's getting their cheeks clapped by Thad in the corner office
Unless you’re in a SEAL team or Ranger regiment, don’t kid yourself.
Canada is super low T. No Canadian bank should even be in this discussion.
Bro you’re Australian
i laughed seeing goldman special sits on the list only because i know a dude there that is a legitimate virgin and he is in his early 30s.
Bro f u I literally just told 2 ppl so i know who u are
haha i heard third hand from one of the 2 ppl u told so jokes on u

Which ever group you aren’t in. I mean seriously dude no way you took the time out of your day to name groups who you think have high testosterone levels. You might as well ball check everyone while you’re at it
Honestly? The Industrials group of the John Pierpont Morgan investment bank (JP Morgan). No TMT group will ever be as high T as the OG robber barons, and titans of steel industry.
Industrials groups always seem attract the most alpha men.
its got to be a real assets group- the old school boys of wall street.
think industrials, real estate/gaming/lodging, etc...
the 800+ free test numbers are all buyside though
Congrats on RE Coverage group
I just know this is an incoming JPM RE kid.
Not sure but heard MS M&A guys sit while they pee
BMO Metals & Mining (see latest thread)
evergreen post
Actual facts - work there
Did the staffer get fired or nah?
Agree about metals/mining and not the first time I've heard this. Any interesting stories?
Human Resources and ESG
Any tech related group is obviously low testosterone. They are all soy boys.
It’s obviously oil and gas/industrials
HL RX LA if you’ve ever seen the office — literally all men so it has to be highest T

The group that allows you to sleep the most, have the least amount of stress, and eat healthy. I mean what the fuck kind of question is this?
lol, no joke.
Facts
Big 4
Industrials (GS/JPM)
Jefferies and Evercore O&G
OH how bad from 1-10 compared to other o&g group j curious
UBS HC
They have a pull up bar in the middle of the bullpen and like, 8 ping pong studs
Literally none of them… this industry is full of passive aggressive nerds who are the softest people in reality
