Feeling insecure about my age

Hey man - I’m a summer analyst in nyc older than most first years at my BB. Nobody cares, nobody at all cares about age.

Doesn’t make you inferior, doesn’t change anything. If anything it’s a cool talking point. Don’t overthink it!

In many ways you’re more mature because of your age so I’d look at it as an advantage.

1. It would be insane for someone to care at that age about someone being a year older — College creates a medley of kids that took a gap year, graduated early etc. to where the distinction gets seriously blurred. All my friends that are “my age” are really ±1-2 years. 
 

2. Why are you stressing about something you can’t control? I know people that are 5’7 and bitch all day that they can’t pull women because of it, and I have friends who are 5’7 and lower who are ridiculously confident and pull more than almost anyone I know. Point being, do you want to mentally torture yourself for no reason or do you want to be the dude balling out?

Don’t worry about it - I graduated college early and have always been the youngest kid in my class / in the office. Nobody will know your age unless you bring it up

we all take different paths but it has led you to the same destination. Who cares if you’re older, you are most likely more wiser and it gives you a chance to feel like you’re in your early twenties

I didn’t start FT till I was 26, almost 27. Doesn’t matter. If anything, you are more mature and people will appreciate that, look at you differently and value you more. (That’s been my experience)

Nobody cares bro. Most my friends are 3-4 years older than me anyways. I dont give a rats ass. A few years doesnt mean much man.  Hell I dated a 34 year old mom. Just talk to everyone the same and no one cares. 

Hey bro, Incoming SA next summer…I’ll 3 years older than most of my intern class as I took 2 years in between graduating HS and starting university. And then didn’t even know what IB was until the end of my sophomore year, so extended graduation a year to place in IB.

I don’t anyone will give a damn about you being older, I’ll be in the same position as well. If they do care, they can piss off.

Lol if you get the job, you'll see people coming in as associates who are 35. You're being so cute. You'll see summer associates who are parents.

Enjoy life.

You said you’re bothered about being a 24 year old intern, but you’re turning 24 next September?

This is completely normal. Don't worry about it.

can't believe people are feeding this troll. how stupid do you have to be to give a serious reply to this?
