Career Resources
Mediocrity in all endeavors whether it's social,financial or intellectual. I strive to be the best version of myself in all aspects of my life.
same....
Also I'm afraid I won't be able to purchase a house at a place I want to settle down in. Supply is lower every day.
that whoever I end up marrying long-term has ulterior motives and will divorce me for my money. This sounds so stupid, but as bankers I feel like many of us have these thoughts. Really sad. Hope it doesn't happen, but very difficult to discern when it comes to certain women.
How does one avoid this from happening?
"Love no thotties" - Chief Keef
dude id rather date a multimillionaire than someone in finance.
This is mostly only the case for the guys who put all of their energy into their career. If you're an attractive, interesting, and decent person, then someone will absolutely like you for who you are. If you spend all of your time thinking about yourself and your finance career, you'll be missing one or more (or all) of those qualities, and it's likely that the women who are willing to be with you just see dollar signs, because really that's all you are.
My children will be failures despite my efforts to give them as much of an advantage that I can.
What makes you think they'll be failures?
I dont think they will be but that is what I fear. I have this immigrant mentality of sacrificing my youth to provide a better life for my children, like my parents did, and sometimes even kids with a good set of cards just arent good at poker.
lol love this one
It already came true basically.
?
Ditching "the path" to have time to enjoy what life is really about (love, friends, family, my own kids someday) only to find myself either priced out of a lifestyle I may one day want more than the one I have at a given time or unable to return IB/PE and living with that hanging regret. Flip side is continuing down the path only to miss out on the things I mentioned life is really about.
Choose your suffering.
going through this exact thing right now
This video
And those who use 4chan on a daily basis.
kek
Fiddlesticks jungler ganking me at level 3.
I know this chick that took L3 four times before passing. Then we went out to the club.
Is this thread about video games or the CFA lmao
Did she give you a BJ afterwards?
Disappointing the people that went to bat for me and helped me get my analyst position. Sales and Trading runs in the family and my dad had a giant part in shaping me into who I am today and helped me get in contact with his mentor who helped me get an offer. I'm scared to death to disappoint either and that fear makes me bust my ass even harder. I'm also afraid that the lack of work life balance will lead to my girlfriend resenting me.
going to jail again
yeah not a fun place
Personally it would be along the lines of sustaining some sort of life changing physical injury. I couldn't imagine not being able to do something as basic as walking, let alone not being able to continue an active lifestyle.
Yeah this is probably my biggest fear - being paralyzed from the waist or neck down and being forced to live. I almost got in a crash this morning - some Camaro almost sideswiped me on the bike. Scared AF.
getting accepted to IB and slaving away like the rest of you apes
I'm only 24 but man I feel like I am wasting my life away and don't have time for things that I want. Recruiting to bigger cities is taking so long due to covid hiring freezes so my best bet will be moving by the time I'm 25, but then that's only a few years before my gf wants to get married and then kids a few years after that. Just feel like life is flying by and I'm wasting it. Idk. Very privileged where I am now with career stuff but damn, always wished I figured out what I wanted to do before graduating.
Why have kids specifically at 27/28? Why end the fun so soon?
Nah we'd get married right around when I turn 28/29 and then kids 31-32ish?? That's at least my initial mindset - definitely don't wanna end the fun soon at all lol
death
running out of money
true story.....
Being poor
Looking back on my life and thinking: did I lead a good life? Am I proud of what I did?
