Banker Options

Now that I have reached the status of 'Gorilla,' this seems as an appropriate time as ever to initiate what some might consider a 'sensitive issue.'

When a loved one is lost, it is important to celebrate their life instead of dwelling on 'what could have been.' In this case, I say fuck it. Not only shall we celebrate, but we shall discuss the potential career trajectories of a man (well, 99.8% man) who has left this world oh so early.

If still alive, what line of business do you think that Harambe would have entered? The cushier hours of PE? The golf-infused Friday afternoons of Asset Management? The high risk, high reward high octane lifestyle at a HF? Do you think Harambe is drawn in by the prestige of a JP Goldman Stanley? Or perhaps a boutique such as Green Lazard & Co. would fit his fancy.

Not having known Harambe myself, I can only use and endless supply of internet memes and CNN articles to try and determine what would have been his career choice. All in all, 'tis still a discussion to be had. One that leaves us hear thinking, 'what if?'

Well the false prophet that called himself the gorilla of wall street destroyed the only bank, but I would build it again in three days...
