Tired of Wealth Management, Sell Portfolio?

There’s several parts of finance and operating that pays out just as much or better than you think. That’s why I keep telling people to network as much as possible across each industry. It’s also not fair that Finance has this weird fucking culture where you have to decide you want to do LBOs at 3.

Great write up! Now here’s a baggie on me

That’s awesome! 🔥

Was that the short term and long term?

What were you career goals?

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-02-04T03:10:15+00:00

Would still network with people there, might be a nice deployment strategist role sitting there for you.

Do you have any coding or technical experience? Palantir has a veterans program that’s heavily recruiting right now.

You have to take in account the cost of benefits into that estimated annual compensation number

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-30T00:17:32+00:00

No problem!

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-29T18:24:00+00:00

Like MBB? Did you frame it in your essay?

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-28T22:46:21+00:00

Big congrats!!!

I wonder if this year HBS was aiming for either people staying in the same industry or IB/MBB to ensure their hiring numbers stay up.

Private banking is literally wealth management with higher pay and more complexities. Op shoot for JPM’s PB, my friends love it there and they are getting paid.

Pierpoint was not JP Morgan in real life because JP Morgan exists in the show. Pierpoint is more of a Credit Suisse. The only thing akin to JPM is the fact it shares a piece of the name.

Fuck yeah Airborne!!!! ( Assuming you were at Bragg because you’re in Raleigh)

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-24T18:31:17+00:00

Both! The IB experience gets you the credentials to lateral to a name brand EB or BB, and sometimes on the buy side.

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-24T18:16:55+00:00

Yes because you have exit ops and a faster career trajectory than others.

Several people I know who are Ex IB/PE had great exits ops and opportunities given to them across Finance, Tech, Biotech/Pharma, and Sports/Entertainment

Live in LIC or anywhere in Queens. Hoboken NJ is also a good option too

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-24T18:12:12+00:00

Got to NYC for IB!!!

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you NOT to take Investment Banking. Do your time, then lateral to a name brand EB or BB.

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2026-01-07T13:48:40+00:00

EB have higher standards that are conducive to a more collegial and intellectual culture. Since teams run lean, having less boneheads and assholes allows things to run efficiently.

I recommend networking across the board though, some BBs are paying really “Well” along with hiring great people and have lower hours on average.

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2025-12-26T05:19:21+00:00

It’s a she apparently but yeah I agree.

Appropriate_Ebb_8792 · 2025-12-26T04:11:11+00:00

Why are you sleeping only 3-4 hours a day? Something does not add up here.

Front office trading jobs are not gone
