AM, run a cool quarter trill. Goldman's up the block but GSAM is in JC.
f-eye-nance
So a friend who was a PM used to complain that he kept getting family and friends asking about budgeting and stuff.
It is is a little confusing but I have never had that situation. Most family members and friends know that I do something investment related. On Reddit in the financial careers sub it very confusing. Half of the people are talking about corporate finance (budgets. etc) and the other half are discussing investment careers.
You are only considered prestigious if you work in fuh-nance. Only non-targets work in finance
fuh-nance is for pussies
I tell people I'm a bank teller
Work in finance, but the deals are fuh-nancings
I've not heard anyone under 40 use the term "fuh-nance".
Agreed. Also, I always thought people said "fih-nance" not "fuh-nance", but maybe I gotta listen more
It is kind of cringey to to hear it pronounced fuh-nance. I am far from an expert on pronunciation. I pronounce huge as yuge but this is the New Yorker in me.
I say finance, not sure which people pronounce it finance.
unironically, fuh-nance ever since I went to b-school as a complete non-target career switcher and had a professor use that pronunciation. I am trying to overcompensate now, as I am surrounded by hardos.
fin-nance
I started saying "fin-nance" ironically but now it's just how I say it. I'm very self-conscious about it in public.
pho-nance
Fye-nance. I didn’t know there was another way people say it
