Whats the point in even trying to get into this industry
I'm a rising sophomore at a lower Ivy and honestly I don't think I'll be able to break into IB, any adjacent field, accounting, or quite frankly any white collar job. I don't have any family connections, am not DEI, and am not social or attractive or intelligent enough to make up for that, especially not now with the economy being this shit for new grads and AI creating Hunger Games levels competition for what's left of entry level white collar jobs. Might as well just accept my fate and go work minimum wage somewhere like Missouri or Nebraska where shit is cheap and the minimum wage is $15.
you are an idiot and you deserve to be treated as such. shitty mentality which will get you a shitty outcome. winners are winners.
why did u decide to go to an ivy with this mentality then
Fresh account one post obvious rage bait
You should reflect on how you’ve decided to use your time in life
Just put the fries in the bag buddy
you're right, do not even try it
I thought this was going to be a post about how trying to work in this industry is pointless because the pay is nowhere near enough to justify the shitty hours. I can’t believe there are still people this desperate to break in when the pay isn’t even that good anymore. I was told the median MDs at the BBs like MS and JPM only take home $1.2mm a year now. That’s nowhere near enough to justify losing all your hair, getting fat, and having your marriage fall apart with kids who don’t speak to you
Did it from a non target on the west coast you’ve never heard of to BB in NYC last cycle.
My parents are farmers, I’m a white American male.
Cope.
When you look at it from the big picture, it always seems cooked, but I think just putting your head down day to day makes it happen. Just learn one technical concept, one behavioral, send a few emails every morning, and it'll start to feel in reach. There's a ton of tools out there to help you. I made one for myself and other students. But catastrophizing gets you nowhere. Just start.
