Don't even think he knew what the fukk he was doing. He had to rush to the meeting, but he told her to stay in the room, which you never do with an escort. He had that wild eyed look when she said 20k, like he knew he didn't have that or didn't want to spend it. Guy like Eric probably makes like 20k a month is my guess.
Nah, he’s gotta make significantly more than that. Partner at a top investment banking firm in London.

$20k a month is $240k. Didn’t Harper get a $50k bonus?

Not an expert, in this area so this is just an analysis

but the base salary comp for the CEO of Morgan Stanley was 1.5 million, of course there's stock and bonuses and all that too

but I think those bonuses were based on her commissions.

edit: asked someone in that world, or the VC one, and she said a few million before partner, and maybe 10 after. but she could be wrong too lol

Harper should've been banned from the industry already. I'm not even really sure why she was allowed to work for an American financial institution. Especially when her old boss was literally blowing up HRs phone saying don't hire her.

Harper got risk all over her face. She exhales it. bytch been lying since day one, about everything. And everybody, including clients, be catching her almost nothing happen. Now she about to be a partner to a new fund that's being angel invested by old English money :mjlol: Harper barely got 4 years in the industry and she doesn't have degree and I doubt a license. why these ppl keep putting their careers on the line, fukking with her. She ain't got shyt to loose. Her own family don't fukk with her.

As the show tells it, it's Petra's returns, and Harper selling herself/the fund. She's not PC. She's not the standard corporate drone. Like the "couple of McKinsey types, trying to out outrage each other....textbook" Those old money types don't like the new corporate shyt. Like the guy in E1 who said "Chattam House rules"

and even if investment banking is not a meritocracy, she plays like it is, like she laid out for Eric in the first interaction. Whether it's entirely realistic or not....i mean nah probably not.

Most of it is faith in petra. Anna only lets her handle 20% of the fund's money for trading, but the funds she does touch accounts for over 50% of FutureDawn's revenue. That's taking into account the shackles Anna has on Petra, trading wise. So they saying "imagine what she could do with a lot more money". Then Harper sold it well too with that play at the panel on top of "talking the talk". Let's not forget Harper does know her shyt and was rising in Pierpoint. Eric just fukked her over by revealing the fake graduation shyt.

Then Jesse Bloom seems to have vouched for Harper too. :yeshrug:

Is this the first time they mentioned Jesse being locked up or did I miss it earlier?

Anna so fine and my type of woman, but she boring, among other things. That's been a theme since high school.

They coulda stretched it out smh
Logan was supposed to die in the pilot, but the actor convinced them otherwise.

But yes, that last seasons was supposed to be two season with Logan dying at the end of the first one, but I guess they changed their minds.

I was shocked when he lived when I first started watching it lol. Great decision though, he made the show.
