MS hired an absolute dumbass jock

Recently met an IED trading analyst at MS and can’t fathom how tf he passed the application process. Speaking to the guy you can just tell he got in because he knew a guy who knew a guy. He might’ve also been coked up or on tren or sum shit during the networking event cuz I’ve never been so shook speaking to an analyst. Bro broke the fourth wall every chance he got talking about “I won’t ever see most of you anyways so I don’t really give a fuck on what I say”. I thought maybe I was the one who was geeked out because i chiefed a blinker in the bathroom prior so I looked up to peep others reactions and everyone around him was looking at each other like yo is this guy fr? He gave the most headass answers I’ve ever heard talking about “just read bro” and “I don’t really care about what the job is I just do what the client wants and get paid” asked him about MS thoughts on the market and he was like wtf is that only losers listen to podcasts like ouch bro that’s your own companies podcast… It was funny so it didn’t really bother me but I can’t sleep at night anymore knowing there are complete dumbasses like him who really made it into BB.

What the fuck is a blinker

I had to look this up:

”Blinker weed” is a bit of a misnomer. The term “blinker” doesn't refer to a specific strain or type of cannabis but rather a method of consumption. In the context of cannabis culture, taking a “blinker” means inhaling from a vape pen until the battery light starts blinking.”

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

It’s basically a big hit of weed from a dab pen. Maybe the alc equivalent of taking 2-3 shots at once?

 

no one trading institutional equities derivatives needs to have significant finance knowledge on day 1, not exactly rocket science
