Which bank has the least “hardo” mentality?
Listen, I know there’s a ton of you guys out there who love beating off to your excel skills, and doing shit that’s completely unnecessary just to be a hardo weirdo.
But who knows which banks have the least amount of hardos at them? Looking for that bank lol
You’re going to hate this industry
Fucking fuck I knew I would
the best advice I can give you is to be a hardo but be socially competent and humble
to me, hardo = "I genuinely want to do this and am willing to put in more work to be good at it"
fuck the hardos who are dicks and don't take phonecalls when other people helped them before
That is me to a tee
That’s me to a tee. I’m all about putting in the insane hours and learning, that’s not hardo at all, that’s just understanding the role.
By hardo I mean absolute dicks who do shit just to be powerful or try and flex their excel skills yadda yadda etc.
Baird is a strong MM that I believe meets this criteria. Baird uses a "no asshole" hiring mentality and really tries to avoid toxic senior leadership. Obviously some brutal MDs are still there but it seems like they're looking to move in the right direction.
Noticed this when I interviewed with them. Chill midwest frat vibes.
Probably Barclays and BAML is the best fit for what you’re looking for. Group dependent of course. But those firms are generally the least hardo culture.
Baml chi gave me hardo vibes. buddy of mine who's in the nyc office is chill tho
Is baml chi a top group
Blair used to have hardo vibes. Not sure if that’s changed
MS Menlo, Moelis LA, GS TMT are your best bets
among all the banks I have seen, the private banks and WM units had the least amount of hardos. Still "somewhat hardo", but the more relaxed type. Not like IB FO, et al
