Why don't bankers breathe?
Why is it that bankers tend to talk really fast and it almost sounds like they aren't stopping to take a breath. My accounting professor does this too. When I talk I tend to breathe deeply with pauses or when I'm thinking. When I'm on networking calls with alumni I've continually noticed it sounds like they never breathe or pause. I first saw Matan Feldman doing this in his Wall Street Prep lectures but now I'm seeing it a lot more. I'm curious what the cause is.
Anyone able to explain this?
our brains are fast af boii!
A lot of bankers are tense, type A people so it makes sense they'd speak at full speed. Plus bankers want to be efficient with these calls to get back to their fucked up job
I wish I could speak faster.
Probably trained from efficiency. Same reason they don't like to use the mouse and do key board short cuts only.
Our bodies have adapted to the overwhelming pressure of out work and allowed us to snythesise our oxygen from coffee, nicotine and permanent ketosis. You cannot possibly comprehend the biological power any ordinary banker wields. We are more than mortal, less than divine. We are Bankers.
None of the senior bankers did this lmao. I’d say the analysts are the ones who are overwhelmed and can’t breathe
Ben, stop spamming
This. I’m actually working on slowing down and communicating effectively. I’ve found the best deal makers talk slowly and deliberately.
My guess is overlearning; when you do a great deal of work on something, you actually consume less oxygen because your brain doesn't have to exert the same level of energy for a certain output. Overlearning is huge for athletes.
It's like talking about something you're passionate about; when you've thought about it enough that you know it forwards and backwards, you don't have to think as much.
