Trust me you dont want to get into banking, totally horrid profession.
Most people are being laid off. People get in for a year or 2 and then leave, esp with the big players like Morgan Stanley, if your not on equity or emerging markets and if your not an associate you WILL be laid off within the next 24 months trust me.
Leveraged credit is even worse, our entire desk is being laid off soon
Lots of my friends are now leaving IB and trying to get into consulting to just set up thier own shit
Myself I am looking to set up an Oil trading business based in South Sudan but the red tape is immense.
The one thing you will learn in IB is everyone is a prick but there are ONE or TWO people you can really trust, just hang with them
yeah i think its a bad time for banking! i am looking ideally into data science. i have found an opportunity that would use big data to actually improve peoples lives instead of sell them shit more accurately, so have high hopes for that. but anything IT related would do really.
good luck with the business! sounds pretty risky, but guessing with your background thats half the attraction.
A good mate of mine is doing his placement at JP Morgan with a salary of 39k, his mate is starting at Morgan Stanley at 49k so it's easy to see the appeal! Not at all for me though, the realistic hours you have to put in seem atrocious. Sounds like you know a lot about that field?
hello all. i hope you are well.
why the fuck am i here? its my probably final (being forced to swap a charmed life for reality) biannual check in from a hotel with fuck all else to do, not even battered so don't have an excuse.
also monsta if you are reading this, i have some information that will be of interest to you. i would have texted you but due to my 0 cash ever (i might be on the game soon guys/girls, and am quite proficient) its not worth the international charge.
i think about sticking around sometimes but this place has caused a lot of hassle, its nice to see how people are doing sometimes but worry if i came back regularly i'd get sucked in again and still lack the emotional maturity to cope. right this moment i need to find some food but will prob be about later and during the week.
as long as we don't disregard indentations and brackets all is good.
Sounds like stress hell. How long did you do it for?
Leaving soon to either do a Swaptions contract in Japan( 6 months max) or just set up said self business with the oil trading.
bit off topic, does anyone have any film recommendations for ketamine? Not feeling a khole session but have a good situation to use ket tonight, empty house, no distractions etc. Want to sprawl out on the sofa in the dark and stick a film on
Which one is the hot one?
lulz, but true, they're right stoaters.
something not too hard to concentrate on but trippy?
