I'm not sure how to advise my friend on this...

Apologize for the long post beforehand:

I have a close female friend who I'm advising on upcoming SA interviews, but it has been a while since I have done any SA interviews so I'm soliciting your guys' advice for this particular situation:

Although not the cream of the crops in terms of raw intellectual pony power, my female friend has a relatively strong GPA and some previous finance work experience @ a local F500 which landed her ibd interviews.

Here is the tricky part: Although I am completely not interested, she's tall and very very attractive face wise, except for the fact that she is flat chested (runs in the family, mom's side). It has been a source of her insecurity since I've known her in HS and for her birthday last month her parents offered to pay for to get implants.

Her surgery is set for the end of this Jan. and supposedly recovery is not the issue (about a week i hear) so she'll make the interviews. BUT, she's concerned bout whether this will affect her SA interviews, whether they will judge her differently because of her assets. I don't know what differently means. She's thinking there is more of an upside to getting it done before, but I disagree as a guy and say we're pigs and she should not get it done. Now we all know the testosterone dominated IB world loves good looking women with nice assets and will judge regardless... so I am asking should she get them BEFORE or AFTER her interviews? + rationale.

Thank you.

As long as she isn't going from flat chested to larger than a small C, I would say no one would ever know any better.

But yes, pics or GTFO.

Cheer up, Bateman. What's the matter? No shiatsu this morning?
 

more like a nice C.

if i posted pics, it would probably destroy any shred of hope of getting an offer.

plus, gotta keep my chances up in case...

The only way people are going to judge her differently is if they are ridiculously huge. A large B/small C-cup would probably look most natural considering fake tits typically ride high on the chest...and everyone knows huge cans hang a little lower due to their wonderful mass. Tell her to stay at or below a C-cup and she'll have a hot pair of fun-bags without looking like a stripper and getting judged for them.

Dont forget to post the pre/post-op pics

 

It's always a mixed bag when interviewing, sometimes it's an MD and sometimes it's a VP and an analyst for first rounds... I have no idea, but I do know it's usually a male interviewer.

Well she wants to have them stand out a bit, not like silly pornstar DD sized. It's supposed sized as to be "well worth the surgery". Size does not equal quality, but hey I'm not the one getting it done.

I think C is a very nice size and it wouldn't be a waste, looks nice in a tight sweater. Plus, second and third surgeries are a big risk supposedly so you want to get it right the first time.

repetition drags belief. hopefully she finds someone who'll run home the fact that her breast size is unimportant (mostly) (words in parentheses supposedly unspoken thoughts of said partner) (referring only to first set of parentheses) but if she's really, i mean REALLY flat, tell her to stick to the b's. absolutely low c's if she really feels the need, but really, b's get stared at just as much as c's. the larger size will simply be gawked at, be less believable, more noticeable and speculated on, and the larger the implant, i read somewhere, the higher the risk of not being able to detect breast cancer further on in life.
