"muh finance is dominated by yellow and brown nerds nowadays" JFL just say youre not in the right social circle.

my group (top dealflow product group) at a top bank (literally already being headhunted by MFs with 20bn+ latest flagship fundraises) is literally averaging 6'5 220lb ex-hockey/rugby/rowing athletes and ex-sigchi/pike/kapsig touse studs.

i wanna go into finance but idk which area though

IB -> PE = best lifetime comp with little st dev, however brutal hours (90+ hours/week until your 30s)
HF = absolute confidence you can kill it in public equities, solid hours, giga high risk
VC/GE = want to dick around and work like 50 hours a week

 

[Whatever]

I get that these corny ass larps help you pretend that you’re white but nope, WASP elitism is a dinosaur both within America and globally, we’re well into the Chinese Century with a huge scoop of curry on the side. And any financial firm that wouldn’t get with this would suffer. Because capitalism cares about capital, not race or looks.

By the “right social circles” in finance you mean still sucking Jewish cock instead of the new Chinese one. Which WASPs have always done with a smile on their recessed faces. But money and power is changing in this 21st century so keep up with it.

How corny to pick WASP to larp-brag about being. Muh 6’5” hockey players, that’s Scandinavia.

In the West, there is another race full of 6'5+ athletes slaying everywhere. Here's a hint. They're not white.

Whats working in high finance like?
Looked into that path when I was thinking about careers but working 80+hrs a week huddled over excel to produce absolutely nothing of tangible societal value would make me want to go ER even for absurd amounts of money
Miring though anyways if you're legit thats a very lucrative line of work

depends what country and bank, EBs in NYC grind like 100-110 hours, BBs and MMs are more chill, London/EU/Canada hours are also chiller, like 80-90/week.

but most lucrative would obviously be a CVP/Qatalyst type seat in the US, which is an insane grind. best risk and hours adjusted option would be a group with good deal flow and high headcount at a JPM/BofA type with good exits and pay relative to effort and then go to a growing MM/UMM PE shop (6-10b latest flagship fundraise with strong growth velocity) and grind to partner, coasting on carry while focusing on fundraising

chiller, like 80-90/week.

Thats like 7am/7pm every single day at least and that's 'chill'? And like 6am/10pm for the grindy periods? Insanity.. I feel like you have to have an absolutely insane psychology and mental wiring to survive the total loss in agency, freedom and novelty that comes with such a job. Is it a matter of just sacrificing your 20s to live a life of luxury after that? Is it really worth it?
