am I not being humble?
Hey guys,
I recently joined a tech focused HF as an analyst, everything is going smooth except one thing, this dummy senior analyst in the team.
We were doing the very preliminary work on an investment case that's very tech focused where the underlying technology was not easy to understand, me being an CS engineer (before my MBA), I understood the solution and started explaining it to the PM.
This stupid senior analyst pulled me to the side and started telling me how I shouldn't be explaining anything to the PM as he's been doing this for a long time and I have just joined and I should be more humble.
I really was dumbfounded by this whole situation. I thought that hedge funds would favor performance/ time gain / insights etc over this BS "you just arrived, shut up" type reaction.
disappointed..
He’s just embarrassed because you have greater understanding of what’s going on while being junior (in comparison to him)
This. Dw about it, as long as you weren't pretentious when you were explaining, you should be fine.
Is he your boss? If not, he's fucking jealous
Yes she is
Okay I know CS juniors can be cocky son of a bitches sometimes. But if your senior MD or boss/VP is liking you and actually wants you to explain this dude is fucking jealous. If you boss is quiet all the time and poker face just stfu and resign
Yeah, he jelly. But as long as your boss don´t ask you, don´t open your mouth.
ask the PM if they appreciate the insight ?
When in doubt about the appropriateness of interjecting, reserve the right to shut the fuck up
Go in his office, slam the door behind you, and go up to him and yell at his face "you try to pull that crap again, I'm going to fuck you up" and then leave
This will work, trust me
He's right. There's a reason the protagonists in all the good lawyer and banker shows do this.
