People who say they're in finance but aren't
Does anyone here get annoyed when someone says they're in finance just because they work at a financial firm but does something completely unrelated to the industry?
I worked with another HR intern during my time at the PE firm. Once my summer internship came to an end, they wanted to extend my internship but I gave up the opportunity to the other girl who didn't even say thanks. Long story short, she now works full time in HR at a HF but claims that she works in finance and that her industry is Investment Management; and above all else "plans" to form her own HF with a friend who works at an IB. Before I found this out, I actually wanted to see if she'd like to hang out with some other intern friends and I but left me on read....
Just bothers me that they feel like they need to say things like that and behave that way.
lol
What is this post even about lol
The real question is, what language is it actually written in?
Didn’t realise I was on tumblr.
Useless gossip and bitching and moaning about shallow topics turns anywhere to Tumblr instantly
So this is the type of crap that HR people worry about - no wonder it takes forever for anything to get done as soon as it's passed to y'all.
But to answer your question, yes she does work in finance, does it matter if she's actually in HR? no not really. People really need to stop getting hung up on titles and technicalities.
you shouldn't get worked up over this kind of a thing
Think of it like this... There are two ways to view Finance... as a sector and as a field. When I say sector, I'm talking about companies in financial services, insurance, investment management, sales and trading, etc. These are companies whose core business is derived by providing financial services, be it traditional IB functions, AM/IM, wealth management, or insurance. When I say finance as a field, I'm talking about any sort of financial analysis predicated on the understanding of how a business works and analysis of the business' financial performance. So, the guy doing CorpFin at an F500 works in finance as a field, while your colleague, the HR rep works in Finance as a sector. If you view it like that, then you can always dig deeper and ask what do you do in finance to determine where they fall.
Everyone at the end of the day works in Finance
Sounds like you’re upset she won’t sleep with you
Same when people say there from Boston but are 80 miles outside of it.

This is spot on. At my business school which is a top 5 school - see what I am doing here lol - a girl at networking events would often tell people that she worked in PE. Technically she was correct as she had been employed at one but wouldn't disclose upright that she'd been doing some back-office stuff here. Of course, that would have taken the wind out of her sail...
the worst are those ppl who say MY BIZ SCHOOL IS RANKED IN TOP 3 ACCORDING TO [INSERT SOME PUBLICATION NOONE HAS EVER HEARD OF]
so you're mad because this girl puffed up her resume and ghosted you for a date?
spend less time worrying about other people and worry about yourself. the more lines you have in the water, the less this will matter
it's probably so recruiters can find her easier.

The crux of this post is that you’re angry some girl didn’t get back to you..
And I bet you think Wendy Rhodes had nothing to do with building Axe Cap.
What is his value add? His hiring always seemed like a bit of a bribe. Can’t recall too many situations where he contributed / prevented a I’ll advised action from happening...
Did you forget to take your pill OP?
Not really, I honestly couldn't care less. It's likely a projection of their insecurities and/or inferiority complex that leads them to want to impress people through such behavior. As I said... Who. Cares.
Your comment was alright. But I threw it a silver banana because your user name and avatar are excellent. You got him mid-hand-gesture. "Margin Call" is easily the most underrated finance movie. 10/10.
