I think many people graduate and wait for the IB role, however many waste so much time before they can realize not everyone will make it into IB so it’s really beneficial to see your other options and be realistic.

Agree ?
I tend to agree with myself too
Edit: J120 - way to sneak a question mark after the “agree”
You do ? well done. It's a solid advice. you must be in Compliance
Low-quality shitpost
Some people watch the wolf of wall st and think that's investment banking and they wanna do it, others read a few posts here and think people act this way at work. That's just an illusion. People need to manage their expectations and see their options. Also people here should slow down a little with the BS on the life they live as IB which in most cases not true, it's a job like any other job
I think its a pretty narrow view that, so many people are choosing their careers based on Hollywood. Also, no one would just be able to watch the wolf of wall street and then break into banking. The candidate pool is to competitive.
.
The title of this is atrocious
Yup.
However, if you are, I’m willing to let the title slide as this thread as absolutely nothing to do with the title. It’s just bantering
How many students you had in your class ? Are they all investment bankers ? I bet many want to but just fewer make it so why not considering other options including compliance. Goldman Sachs previous CEO started as a tax attorney. Stop being a troll and Try to be realistic
For fuck's sake, stop putting a space before every single question mark. It seems like English isn't your native language, but that shouldn't have anything to do with your understanding of elementary punctuation.
Lol coming pretty aggressive too hahah why though ?
Anyone have any good recommendations on laundry detergent?
Tide Pods

I wonder what derk-dicerk would say here
I wouldn’t be able to say anything any longer, you killed me with your intelligent comments, your level of intelligence is pretty advanced, you won kid
Alright, until next time
