How do you keep your personality in IB?
I think that highly ambitious people - like most people here - risk being trapped into their professional persona loosing contact with things that can be classified as pleasurable, interesting or fun because it doesn't help them advance in life and are "distractions",
Look it in the following way: 3 years of college grinding for interviews and internships, then 2 years of being a corporate drone and after that put 2 or 4 years if you go into PE or PE + MBA. So basically 5 years during your formative years (20s) where you almost loose any touch with other things that are not work-related.
For those of you still in that situation, would you agree/disagree and why? For those of you more senior, did you experience this or saw it in friends/colleagues? How you solve it?
I went to college with this one guy who finished #2 in his class and went into IB after college and then to McKinsey.
He was great at studying, excellent with people, but had very little personality and for years at school we would call him “Mr. Personality.” lol
How was he excellent with people without a personality ?
He was like a box of black crayons. He could color in the lines, but had no flair or style for anything except generic canned PC responses to everything.
