No. I have morals and I would feel guilt.

The world may seem large - but it really isn't. That goes double, triple and quadruple for finance depending on the focus area. So even if you are truly machiavellian, with little regard for moral right or wrong - no, I would not.
What so I can ruin my reputation and completely annihilate my future career prospects? No thanks.
That's your only reason?
Obviously not because I have morals too...
But if you look at it from a completely rational point of view, it's very much true right?
People hold grudges so no.
If you don't feel remorse, St. Peter is going to have a pretty stern talk with you later
If you've studied game theory and know about infinite games with known payoffs then you would pretty quickly assess that in an industry like ours, it most likely isn't worth it. People get scanned from top-to-bottom on their past and anything like this lowers the probabilities that you will get into the future endeavors you are looking for.

My old boss has a saying, "Wall Street is a short street with a long memory". I try to keep to remember that for most everything I do, you'll never know who you run into later down in life.
Yes, but not out of the blue.
I've been around the block enough times in my little corner of this industry to make both friends and enemies. (many more of the former than the latter) I would not screw over a friend or someone that I don't know to get ahead. In fact, my willingness to pitch in and try to help, even when things are WAY out of my job description has earned me many friends. (We're talking an investments guy helping IT type things) Going even further, knowing people and processes I have no business knowing has also really helped me out. When bosses have no idea who to turn to for something they turn to me, and either I'll get it done or introduce them to the guy who will do it for them. Yes it's one part super-secretary, and one part fixer, but you get so much respect for it that it's worth it. I think it's gotten me some of my most interesting assignments.
If you have crossed me though, I have no issues throwing you under the bus. There are some people I hate so much that I'd rather see no one get the job than see them win it.
I’d fuck someone to get ahead
I think I misinterpreted the question
Sometimes I'd rather just get some head
I read this as "would you ever screw someone to get ahead".
Sure!
You remind me of the orthodox lady with shrimp in her refrigerator.
Never hold onto shellfish. That's just disgusting.
Depends on if they fucked me over first.
No, one's character means a lot or at least it should.
screw as in introduce them to the underside of a bus? no, i'm not an asshole
screw as in intercourse? idk, probably
No
Never a friend / someone who's a decent human being. But an asshole, yes I have no problem screwing them over if needed
That said, look out for how it comes back to bite you....often that might be years in the future so if you're going to screw someone over, think carefully over several days / weeks before figuring out if it's worth the potential risk.
Do they want me to screw then?
I'll not sleep in peace at night, no amount of money can buy that back.
We have morals, mate. Yes, we have goals and ambitions. But morals >>> ambitions

Define screw someone over, becuase I think people have a very different idea of what that means.
Does it mean getting your office rival staffed on a shitty job? Does it mean you frame someone for murder? There are a really wide spectrum of actions that could fall under this heading. Some things people would have no problem doing, others only the most sociopathic people on earth could even come up with.
