After Hours Clubbing
How important is partying / clubbing / attending weekend events in Montauk to your IB career? Can you work until midnight and go home, or is going to a club and locking down bottle service until 4am essential to building your brand and networking?
lol not important at all unless maybe you're in a highly social group. Haven't gone out with fellow analysts in my group once but I have with other groups all the time. I haven’t once had time to go clubbing on any day other than Saturday
Although, it is a good way to build relationships with others in your career
This isn’t a TV show, it isn’t clubbing every week. Most people in this job are tired, working, and have their own lives.
Damn, more clubbing for me. Good room tn ;)
If you want to stay on the sell-side, bushwick is sufficient but to place into a tier 1 buy-side shop you really need to be out there and closing down the club on the weekends until Labor Day
Technoviking. Nice username. First rounds on me
probably have more happy hours at restaurants than full on getting shitfaced on the dancefloor
Not important at all in my experience. Your seniors will not push for you to rise through the ranks because you're out getting wasted after work every night. Do a good job, be good friends with your team and network with your seniors over lunches and coffee chats. That is what matters to people you work with and that is what will make them push for you.
In reality, bankers don't leave the office to go clubbing all night, do drugs and bang a bunch of prostitutes. In reality, people are tired as hell after working for 15+ hours and the last thing they would do is go clubbing when they need to be in the office at 9 am the next day. Once you've done your first internship, you will realize that the reality of banking isn't the "models and bottles" kind of life you've seen in the movies.
With that said, building relationships with people is always helpful. It might give you insight into other banks and it might help you lateral to another bank down the line if that's what you want to do. However, this has nothing to do with clubbing and those relationships could just as well be built by meeting those people under other circumstances. The only benefit of doing it through clubbing is that you can quite easily find places where there is a high concentration of the type of people you want to meet.
Looks like you've never worked at my firm.
Lol - good post
I used to love going to Cielo before it closed.
Joking aside, was a travesty when I found out it was shutting down.
