Say there's a girl that's caught my attention. VP at a MM PE fund, tier 1 city and an MBA from Harvard/Wharton/Stanford. Not sure of her relationship status, but I'll cross that bridge. In the meantime, and GENERALLY speaking, how stuck up are girls in high finance? Similar to the bros?
To be clear, I work at a regional bank in commercial banking. Pay is stellar, WLB is unbelievably good and one day I would like to start my own debt fund (which doesn't get panties wet, I know). Semi-target education, decent looking and an insecure douchebag at times. IRL, I'm flattered by how much girls trust me right off the bat...I'll take that as I'm approachable and not creepy.
Based on anecdote/small sample size, girls at white shoe law firms are too resume focused.
Please chime in with opinions, questions and of course, roasts!
Girls generally want to be with someone that they perceive to have equal or greater intelligence and professional success. Everyone’s different though, so who knows what this one girl is like. Approach her as normal and find out.
Thanks for the opinion/roast! Makes sense. May I ask if you're a guy or girl?
If the latter, you might be the one I have my eye on. 😏

Most cringe post ever
It's me, VP at MM PE fund in Tier 1 city with an MBA from Harvard/Wharton/Stanford.
Why would you ever want to date a girl that's in PE? Date a girl that works in like marketing or HR or something.
I hear ya. Not attracted to her at all because of her PE job, she's cute is all.
You just have to go ask dude. Go have the adventure of your life and stop thinking so much
Not everyone wants to date a bimbo
you're not good enough
Oh well
Dude, just ask. Literally the only sure-fire way to know.
Asking how 'stuck-up' girls in high finance are is the same as asking how many chicks in marketing like coffee. Some of them may, some of them may not. Sure, broad generalizations can occasionally be assumed, but 95% of the time it's just a personal thing. She could be the sweetest girl ever, or she could be an asshole. You won't find any of the answers on this forum, just gotta ask.
You mention that you're 'approachable', so that's a good start. Forget your job, forget hers. It shouldn't actually matter - if you're a nice enough guy, not a creep, and you take care of yourself, then you'll have no issues finding a chick. I'll just ask this - if a potential partner looks down on you for working in CB, is that really the kind of person you want to be with?
Exactly this.
Sounds like OP has most of his shit together. There's more to life than money (as hard as it is to feel when looking at numbers all day...).
Eloquently stated (and may've just found my best man).
As I responded to another poster, slow day at work and thought people might have their own stories.
Glad I could help. Comment may be dickish in nature, but that's not geared towards you. Too many prestige snobs on this website sometimes, nothing personal.
Private Equity Girl = PEG.
That’s what you should be prepared for working as the guy in commercial banking. A nice pegging.

Yeah she makes more than me, but I still make a decent living. I can buy my own damn dinner!
Actually if the girl is perceived to be super out of every guys league, those girls tend to be the easiest to get because every other man is intimidated and thinks he has no chance. And she probably gets approached by douchey finance bros so just be like a half-decent guy
Good way to think about it. "Half-decent"-- I think I can pull off.
Ask her what kind of model she is working towards
If she opens her laptop instead of her Instagram, she is the one.
Lol, most women don't get as much attention as you think. Give it a shot king
If you’re interested in her, ask her out. But don’t be weird about it or assume she’s stuck up because of her job. How do you know that you like her but not whether she’s a bitch or not?
I'm attracted physically and she seems polite, but will find out the truth soon enough!
How does she looks like? Like which celebrity?
Hey man. I read the thread and now I'm wayy too invested in this (wasting time while I should be getting that freshman internship at that LMM bank) . Can you make a follow up post of how this goes? Or just do me the update lol
We all want it. OP needs to give weekly updates.
