Wife's personal trainer (ex karate teacher) got me an interview at JPM through his brother .. is this ethical?

so he used to be a karate teacher but gave it up a few years back after he dislocated his shoulder but he's been doing personal training for about 10 years and is quite good i think. we had him over for dinner a couple of times and the wife has been to training camp for 2 weeks earlier this summer. anyway his brother is a VP in the healthcare team here in new york and got me an interview. is this ethical?

 

People do a lot more questionable stuff with no remorse. The fact that you feel guilty is somewhat proof that you have a right mentality. Go for it!    
Also, you still have to ace interviews, so you will not get the job until you demonstrate you are capable. Another reason to not feel guilty. Best wishes!

Don't worry about the ethics of it brother...your wife has been training real good with him so might as well leverage your cuckoldry into getting a job in IB
