+15 I'd say the vast majority of people in IB to some degree hold characteristics of psychopathy or sociopathy. No one in their right mind would be satisfied working 100+ hours a week. Prospect in IB - Cov
+15 Tenderloin is great incoming SA
+15 This is not an "intern" thing. This is a corporate/professional setting thing. nutmegger189
+15 You’re either at GHL or CTV to a lower extent or not an analyst. At the masters level Cambridge is much weaker and less selective than Oxford/LSE/LBS. Pan European Monkey

+15 Why is it that a good amount of the diversity kids (myself included) are so inferior. dfxbdfDWQR34Edfnb44543234

+15 It's more that there's nowhere near the same fixation on the MBA as a component of career progression in venture relative to buyouts. APAE
+15 Reading this thread from London. What the fuck is going on with American work culture that you question whether GETTING MARRIED and taking a couple weeks off is ‘acceptable’ Jesus Christ  travspav
+15 She said I harassed her by calling "10 times per day for 2 weeks." Records show I called her 0 times over this period. She called 911 one night for domicile harassment and I went to jail for this. Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎

+15 Yeah and we just have a way bigger dick too so young rookie on the street
+15 This is an idiotic response to someone trying to help you. No one on message board is going to teach you the details of knowing the psychology of the market and how to anticipate or react every move. WinnerWinner
+15 Read about high profile activism situations. Easy way to find them is to look up David Benoit author page on WSJ website and read his articles - he is lead activism reporter. ActivismDefenseBanker
+15 Your frustrations are valid and echo the challenges many in the multifamily and broader property management sectors have faced in recent years, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. jjaka
+15 SWE at that level isn't something you just jump into, those people are absurdly smart. They're the same types who become quants at mega funds. Mr.Robot

+15 Is this a humble brag? Working 20 hour weeks and get paid 160k and work full remote in your hometown? Smoke Frog

+15 Natixis mentioned, this thread is getting censored soon. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+15 Congrats on Ferragamo! Intern in IB - Cov
+15 You should look into why this is making you so freaked out that you've eaten 3 sandwiches in 4 days. People have jobs that don't work out all the time. Inevitably everyone gets fired / laid off at some point. sk8247365
