+4 I had to involve an employment lawyer on persistent harassment despite being a top producer. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+4 Stay strong, shabbat is the source of blessing.  Prospect in RE - Comm

+4 I've seen this kind of take a lot so I have to say I think WSO slightly overstates the effect of the larger cohort size. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 UBS has none of that, stfu ai slop Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+4 I am at a top BB in a strong group. I originally started at a pitch-heavy group where VPs had life that seemed similar to yours. In my current group, VPs are sleep deprived and live at the office. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Seeing the usual partisan lines being drawn by the usual posters on WSO is really something. Independent thinking has truly died.  TopBoy.-

+4 so are both you guys virgins? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+4 As a person who has family members with a predisposition to addiction, I think its sad because its very much based on genetics-- of course it might just be a cultural thing within your family (normalized at a young age). Prospect in IB - Gen
+4 Usually 1 vintage is okay, but two in a row is a body blow, and especially given these are the first 2 and only funds so far of a new GP (since you are raising fund 3) in the current environment this smells bad. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 A burner to make this long-ass thing? Yeah, you are just an intern who didn’t get a rt. Sorry, bro.  user_5991
