I HATE Being An Investment Banker (Life Rant)

[newworldafro]

@newworldafro you can imagine when the M.Ds this week are have closed a 10 billion deal (yep) why they didn't invite the black female VP to tag along to their snazzy dinner with our client despite her doing ALLL the leg work

It was a risk posting this in TLR but hopefully the HL regulars like @88m3 @newworldafro @Blackking @zerozero @iLLaV3 @BarNone @Serious @Broletariat and @Easy-E will pass though

Tough situation breh. I can't say I have any real advice but I can imagine what you're talking about especially with the clients who have racial problems. At least you're an accomplished individual and can figure out a way to leverage this opportunity into something else..

(Also, by the way, I find "bed wench" an inexcusably misogynistic term and hope you stop using it.)

Hope you figure out where you want to go from here.. if you can stack your chips and use that as a base for something new that might be the best approach.

OP I've heard about IB being an old boys club too. I was wondering how much you've spoken with this intern. Does he have a family member working in the industry? Old college or frat ties?

Best of luck though. Hell I don't even know if it's possible but start your own ALL BLACK(!!!!) IB firm on your own? Hell I'd invest with a company like that

Breh I'm going to tell you what my aunt told me before she died of breast cancer at 45. She asked me was I happy with my job and I said no. She told me If I died today I'd die single, with a job I hate and dark skin. I was blown away. Breh whatever makes you happy is what you should be doing for the rest of your life. You got a pretty lady and an Audi (me too BTW #audiboys) You should follow your heart.

Appreciate your aunt's pov and no offense but is ya aunt saying dark skin is bad or something?

Or is she saying you are black and in today's world, you have to work harder than the cac man?

Hell look at all the executives of the top banks on Wall Street. That club will never be broken. They give us just enough to not complain, I'm not naive to the fact that the good ol boys still have the power.

i feel the op whole hearty thats why i always preach about blacks owning their own businesses....op is strong because i rather b homeless then to have to put up with that bs.....if ur a conscious black man in that environment itll eat u alive


my advice is to really reduce ur standard of living for a while and be super frugal...save a ton of money and use it to flip and ur an investment banker so i assume ur really smart with investing......youll be free in no time


but eventually it something done change, the job will eat away at u and u might snap and do something thatll change ur life in a bad way

The new class of summer interns started on monday so he has been sitting with me shadowing me since then and he makes a lot of stupid convo. Yes, I've spoken to him a lot. 100% college and society ties because the boy knows nothing. He went to the same college as our M.D and as you know they all have strong alumni ties.
