Seaworld orca trainer vs Financial Technology Partners

Hi all, I have a close friend who is at a major crossroads. He was recently accepted into Seaworld’s prestigious orca training program. Major Chad. Everybody loves him. However, he also received an offer to be an investment banking analyst from some little shop called Financial Technology Partners. He claims this is an investment bank? Nobody I know has ever heard of FTP. Anyways let’s just call him Chad for the sake of conversation. Chad is seriously considering working at FTP over a lucrative marine biology career. Can somebody help me knock some sense into him? Will share responses on this post with Chad. Thanks all.

Look seaworld trainer is a prestigious job. Besides everybody knows that Netflix “documentary” was a hit job and a bunch of baloney. Serious replies only please…
