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.
You can't sleep knowing there are sub par "I know a guy who knows a guy" hires? Buddy you're going to be staying up for a long time.
He sounded like he had absolutely zero financial literacy you just had to be there. They def drafted him from a target
agree
Could be a useful trait in this industry…
yep
Relax you boomer it’s just a saying. No one’s actually losing any sleep.
Naive OP is shocked that industry hires nepo babies and the best you can come up with is "ok boomer"....try again young'un, give it your best shot.

Is nic and oil carts not a thing in the finance world?
Nic most definitely is. plebeian terminology though
MS loves hiring white jocks!!
a
Diversity candidate or Nepo baby?
OP describes the frattiest of frat guys and your mind jumps to a 'diversity hire'
are fraternities only limited to white men?? Thats a stereotype.
Do people take blinkers while at work in finance Lol? That has got to make the job 10x more fun especially in S&T
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.”
It’s basically a big hit of weed from a dab pen. Maybe the alc equivalent of taking 2-3 shots at once?
Lemme guess, you’re a diversity hire?
Lemme guess, you begged on all fours for a recc from your target schools alumni? Please spare me one internship headahh
Lemme guess, another diveristy hire who was too dumb to make it thru regular channels so he wanted to screw over hard working kids who actually knew their stuff?
Lol this guy just outed himself as a hardcore diversity hire. Congrats on stomping on Asians bro
Dude sounds kind of awesome, honestly.
no one trading institutional equities derivatives needs to have significant finance knowledge on day 1, not exactly rocket science
Is he on cash desk? big brownish guy with curly hair. Total lunk with zero personality
