Don’t put non-IB people down
If everyone is trying to get into Ivy League or top 10 schools, the growing demand combined with the growth in US population will lead to getting into anything more and more improbable. Stop encouraging everyone to get into prestige or going into IB, because if everyone wants it, it will just get harder as there will be a limited number of positions. If someone is settled in by working for their family business instead of pursuing the “big dream on Wall Street”, putting them down just makes you more of an idiot. Some of these people are pretty smart, and if they all wanted what you want, you may find that you are out of a job. If people, like those who are okay with attending their local or state college, disgust you, then you really need to get common sense.
Everyone in the world can’t work in IB, so I have tremendous respect for those who chose not to pursue a big career, and they probably have better values than many people. Of course, having an interest in IB or wanting to do something big is not bad AT ALL, and that is great too. Just don’t put down those people who want a more simple life.
Lots of middle class people live much better lifestyles than IB analysts. They get to sleep 8 hrs a night and spend time with their loved ones.
Benjamin Franklin is my loved one.
When he wasn't being a great American, the man was a sexual deviant and probably suffered from many STDs.
top 5 president no doubt
Aren't IB people considered to be middle class tho?
No. Earning six figures as an unmarried individual isn’t middle class in any city in America in my opinion but everyone defines it differently.
They're middle class only if you think there are 3 social classes - Those making below 6 figures, those making 6 figures, and those making 7+ figures.

If you’re not in IB, just go jump off the fucking Rockefeller center.
Wouldn't that be if you were in IB? Since you would be getting little to no sleep and your MD would be chewing your head off every five minutes? Don't take it from me, just saying it how John Rolfe and Peter Troob said it
why pursue meaning when you can pursue GREEN PAPER?
Funny you should say that. Pretty sure that good old Lloyd started off in trading... Before that, he was a lawyer.
Laughs in PE
Good point. Still nice to get some sleep once and a while though. Wonder if you can buy meaning with green paper?
you can buy PROSTITUTES and COCAINE
Have you ever seen a sad person on a jet ski?
jet skis are REALLY bad for the enviroment
Inferiority complex much?
The only people who "put down" those who don't work in IB are 17 - 23 year olds who have limited work experience and post on boards like this one.
wtf did i just read...
While arguing against condescending to those not in IB, you went ahead and did exactly what you're arguing against.
Some people think it's a stupid, boring job, which would provide them absolutely 0 fulfillment and prefer to believe in fundamentally different things than the root foundation of banking.
I don't really care what you think. And I was an IB analyst at one point, so that disproves your point that IB analysts only do what they do because they care what other people think. Your thoughts are worthless to me.
99% of people don’t give a shit about any of this.
Title translates to "please don't make fun of me"
What is this shit?
Classic "I could do IB if I want, but I had one interview and froze up, so I decided not to do it, but I could do it if I want"
That's a pretty screwed up mode of thinking. There are people who could do IB but choose not to. I know people who've interned in IB only to springboard into more fulfilling stuff like RE Dev.

Bruh, first we have to carry the dead weight of the rest of the economy while furthering the flourishing of humanity across the globe and now you say we can't even take a rest every once in a while? Just the merest pause to catch our breath, briefly unburdened???
That's cool. No problem. We do / did IB. We can do ANYTHING.
