If you really want to know what Investment Banking is like? Become a Door to Door Salesman first.

At least that will toughen you up and show you that business is brutal. It’s not at all like the movies and certainly not like the criminal names Wolf of Wall Street.. JBelfort.

BTW..

“I have nothing against Jordan Belford” he is one funny motherfucker!! LoL

Go make some cash on the street with Door To Door sales as High School kid. Learn sales and learn accounting. Then start thinking about your future. It’s not sexy. But at least you will have a fighting chance since you probably do not come from a Family of IB’s.

👍 Good Luck Good Sir.

 

Nah bro it’s a job, long hours and stressful, a good representation its more similar to suits but finance not law and youre not a fraud (though imposter syndrome hella there)
