The MBA route is optimal for Chads anyways bc it means they spend another year in adult daycare and avoiding soul destroying grunt work

Ya they always win. There’s a lesson there

Crazy that you're just a Substacker breaking down the entire financial game, if you got a better spawn point you'd make Sam Altman look as broke as me. I think the only way you start an investment bank would require a handful of crypto rug pulls and a lot of tax evasion tho

This was a great read. In my normie life I work in the finance industry and you have to have a certain sense of savagery to survive that line of work, meanwhile the corporate world environment (at least the one I work in) is very PC and restrictive

How does IB still exist? Isn't it all tech now? I feel like I'm back in 2016.

After reading this article I think it should get even more competitive, miserable, soulsucking and cutthroat. these rentseeking parasites need to be stopped Chad or not.

Wall street is run by balding nerds with dead shark eyes they just let the sales guys have a little fun on the side

Jamie dimon henry kravis Ken griffin Steve cohen all constitute chad status to me. Wall Street is not run by neurotic status chasers. It is run by ppl like the aforementioned psychos who are there to win bc winning feels good

Steve Cohen is a psycho and also a textbook balding nerd who also was outsmarted in negotiations by Juan fucking Soto and his agent

It's hilarious how spreadsheet jockeys such as yourself have convinced yourself that sitting behind a computer all day responding to Slacks is actually Dominant and Manly bc Scorsese made a movie about finance guys doing tons of drugs

In the past you and your scrawny merchant class would be hunted for sport by the actual chads
