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. 

 

Unless you’re in a SEAL team or Ranger regiment, don’t kid yourself. 

 

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.

 

Any tech related group is obviously low testosterone. They are all soy boys.

It’s obviously oil and gas/industrials
