+6 I know this might not have much weight coming from a stranger, but you are cared about and you have value. You don't need to be ultra-wealthy to have meaning in your life. Senior VP in CorpDev
+6 This reddit midwit style of arguing isn't very interesting and I don't plan on responding again. Heavy on non-sequiturs and missing pretty basic concepts. Associate 2 in IB-M&A

+6 Jefferies catching a record number of strays on this forum Intern in IB - Cov

+6 The way I approach my job (and I've seen others I respect and personally like) can be summarized in just one phrase: Try to be as helpful as you can. For me this manifests in a few ways: DrApeman
+6 ^ Hahaha Cantor got sniped. Fuck that place though. Scummy KageSelly
+6 Group is an absolute dumpster fire. Bad group head and culture, trash pay for the hours you work. I guess consider it if you're desperate to break into IB and it's your only offer, but you're going to be miserable... Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+6 del futureCEO_
+6 I still think it’s a bit wild with all of these documents that we still don’t know how or why he made the money that he did. One could point to the obvious blackmail theory but that still doesn’t fit the bill completely. Waterfalldown
+6 If you want to do strategy, you really should move into consulting or IB. Lester Freamon
+6 I mean Copilot is cooked from the beginning tbh. Used to work at McKinsey and I definitely got addicted to Claude Opus. I think it got to a point where I could not do anything without it anymore. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 Like others have said it’s going to be an uphill battle. The demand/supply gap is massive for jobs right now in any industry, especially in CRE. DebtChug
+6 its just a white collar desk job I really dont care what happens  Research Analyst in HF - Other

+6 So easy to hide small dick energy behind an anonymous username on this forum.  Intern in IB-M&A
+6 Funny thing about this post is how it doesn’t dig into how non-integrated / ethnic OPs initial family members entering the US were. Teller in IB - Cov

+6 Gave finance guys a bad look imo. 24 year old kid (who looks like a total squid, btw) rocking a $90k Daytona as if he earned it. Not to mention, posing next to a PWC employee larping as a finance bro. Intern in IB - Gen
+6 Listen closely - there is nothing wrong with you, you’re smart, and this is fully within your capabilities. Aine
+6 I'm at an inflection point in my career. There is a clear path to a VP+ seat, making mid six figures (or better) with decent WLB. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+6 She seems to leave the office around 6:30pm and work from home the rest of the night. Is that standard at UBS? IB isn't expected to work in the office in the evening/night?   Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+6 16 comments and only two people are getting ready to try it…take the plunge yourself don’t dawdle or you’ll become obsolete WSRaider
+6 One thing you need to be eyes wide open about. The business model of RCLCO is effectively this - asset managers, acquisitions guys, and developers pay you to validate their ridiculous assumptions. larry david
+6 I am confident that I could sell you absolutely anything. VP in PE - LBOs
+6 Okay well that wasn’t your question - maybe lead with the whole situation next time you are asking for advice? 40% raise is phenomenal do you really expect to get more, what would make you happy to stay? patrick_bateman_

+6 Dude if you want to do it just go for it. You're still young and you can take risks, worst case scenario you can always go back to banking or a MBA. wuandale33
+6 We never include Jeff as EB-BB 😂 thinkpad_1739
