So the guy next to me picks up his 200K bonus and says...
(keep in mind I am a pro bono intern)
"Send your full name and address to the HR department"
"Why?"
"So we can send you your paycheck"
"REALLY?!"
"No."

Welcome to the wonderful world of investment banking! You'll meet many lively and helpful characters along the way! "Life isn't this complicated, it doesn't have to be this way," you say.
Nonsense, didn't you hear when they talked about going to a "target?" This is the finest that our world has to offer!
Wait what? Someone that works in finance is a dick? Call the newspaper.
In what way is your admiration for Bono relevant here OP?
Yeah man that is very ass-holish (sounds like a GS guy lol)......but welcome to the world of finance. But not everyone is like that.
hahaha. this is awesome.
lulz
Hey, how'd you know it was a 200k bonus anyway? That's decent for a guy that would have an intern sitting next to him.
that's the single best thing that I've ever heard in my entire life..... soooooooo narc of that guy.
He makes more money than you, so clearly he is a better person than you. Don't you get it?
Most bankers I meet (outside of anonymous forums) NEVER talk about their pay. Is it more common than I think, or was this guy just the ultimate douche?
I believe you.
only 200k? he must work equities in Dallas
hahaha, thats amazing!!
Talking about your pay is a complete no no where i work and where everyone i have ever bullshitted with.
Beautiful
From the lack of responses by the OP, seems like he might have been bs-ing.
Wait you work on my desk!?!
haha that's hilarious!
Love to chill with the guy who got the check.
Even if it's not true, its hilarious!
Speaking of "characters" in Finance, when I did a stint in PWM, I had cold-called an eldery woman whos husband had just passed, when I told my Advisor about this his reaction was, "Yahtzee! She's probably loaded and has no clue what to do with her finances, call her back!"...after this I knew to stay away..
A lot of times sharks like that, have more money than they know how to spend.
boutique bank. collects fees once deals are done, was lucky to be there for one of our largest.
