Most Prestigious WSO Forum?

Tier 1: AM, RE, FASH - Worked your way up without killing yourself, solid pay, spend your time thinking about your family, hobbies, and which new watches and shoes to buy. You're not that concerned with preftige, and might even enjoy going to work. You actually made it.

Tier 2: PE, HF - You "made it" by societal / WSO's standards. Still killing yourself, but at least getting paid and have a shot at setting up generational wealth. You regret not trying harder for varsity in college.

Tier 2.5: VC - Not a real job, but has some veneer of prestige. Your linkedin title is "Investor" and I suppose that has some cache, but you still spend 90% of your week cold-calling. You fancy yourself the smartest person in the room, as does everyone else around you.

Tier 3: IB, CO - Probably still a couple years out of school, eyeing your next 2-3 exits. Consultants will say they have the most interesting job, but travel is a huge pain and even senior consultants still kneel to a PE associate on a due diligence. IB is just pure cuckery.

Tier 4: TR, CR, ER - You exist on the edges of society, and no one really cares about you, but you can keep it lowkey in these industries and make a good living. You might actually understand "finance" better than any of the others here.

Tier 5: OFF, SCH, JOB, INV, CRYP - You are likely unemployed and have time to shitpost on these forums, or get a high off debating college freshman online.

OP says OFF is Tier 5, posts on OFF......
