Why So Many Ex-Bankers Need To Post on YouTube Why They Quit?

It seems so pointless to post on YouTube why they quit and now starting a youtube channel. These damn millennials.  No one cares. Has anyone else encountered this?

(Removed YT links but you can search it easily on youtube - why i quit investment banking)

While you’re on this site complaining about what other people do with their time, they are making helpful videos highlighting what they learned in the field and various other tips that might help someone who is figuring out what they want to do with their life. There’s no possible way that this is a net negative for the world so why do you care so much?

I did not learn much. If I want to learn about investment banking, I'll pick up the IB guide - not watch a youtuber. 

It would be more helpful "10 Things to Do to Suceed as Investment Banking Analyst", instead of "Woo is me, I quit!"

What next listen to tiktok for investment advice on DogeCOin and ElonCoin?

Tsk millenials. 

FYI this is the only video on youtube i would watch on investment banking

 

Ya dude you, are the worst person I have ever encountered in my entire life. I hope your future wife has stank puss and kids end up gay.
