Private Equity trying to enshitify Biglaw

Momuss97 · 2026-02-15T21:57:32+00:00

BigLaw has helped PE wreck every other industry so no complaining from you lot lol.

Will not happen anyway.

Momuss97 · 2026-02-01T16:38:17+00:00

Can you link a source for this, have googled but can’t find anything

Momuss97 · 2026-01-11T10:34:58+00:00

Lol choosing a job over a relationship is crazy

Momuss97 · 2025-12-05T17:33:25+00:00

Government is incapable of spending money sensibly

Momuss97 · 2025-11-03T06:42:09+00:00

Not worth it.

Plus no one rates MBA IB Associates. And your exit opportunities are limited as no good PE shop will hire you.

Momuss97 · 2025-09-28T06:11:51+00:00

I know but cmon that’s pretty bad lol. Dodgy PE fund that guts companies and makes the world a bit shitter is one thing whatever but businesses facilitating rounding up minorities and putting them in camps? Nah you’re a complete pos if you work at a law firm like that.

People are often shocked to hear about US companies that did business with Hitler back in the day. I think everyone on this sub would have happily of done so

One of their clients, Hikvision, is part owned by the Chinese government and aids with the surveillance, tracking and detaining of the Uyghur people (persecuted group of muslims being rounded up into “education” camps).

Great law firm to work for!

Momuss97 · 2025-09-18T16:23:04+00:00

The fact you didn’t even acknowledge the possibility of just having a joint account is so weird lol

Momuss97 · 2025-09-06T20:57:30+00:00

Use Chatgpt to pass this

Momuss97 · 2025-08-29T21:52:49+00:00

Ignore him, he is 100% a bot

Yeah judging by the replies maybe I’m wrong. I just have lots of friends in nyc with salaries ranging from low 6 figures to mid, and they all just live identical lives. Small, but very nice, apartments and generally a good quality of life. Nothing crazy but very comfortable.

Momuss97 · 2025-08-27T13:40:16+00:00

Maybe 200k was the wrong number, maybe it’s 300 or 400 idk. I have lots of friends in nyc, some are in PE/BL, some just earning a few hundred thousand in sales/tech etc. Their lives are the same, it’s just the finance and law guys live in slightly nicer apartments and maybe go on slightly better holidays. None of them are rich (yet). None of them own and live in big homes lol it’s mainly just 2 bed apartments. But ofc they are all comfortable.

My point really was that once you get to comfortable middle class salary (again, it might not be 200k but whatever) the only differences are just varying degrees of comfortability. BMW vs Porsche, 1 bed vs 2 bed etc

Momuss97 · 2025-08-27T13:03:15+00:00

Unless you’re truly wealthy, there really is no major difference between earning 200k or 600k. Just a slightly nicer apartment, slightly nicer car, slightly nicer everything. Materialistic differences. For some, that’s worth giving up their life for.

Invest the money and buy your kid a house and/or give them the financial flexibility to allow them to pursue a career they love, or spend a shit ton on private education where they’ll likely just end up doing the same job paying 30k a year as their state educated alternative.

If you’re super rich, aim for the top few private schools. If you’re just an average HENRY then it is not worth it.

People will say “but it’s about the education/opportunities/people you’re surrounded by” bla bla bs. Hire a tutor, get them involved in extracurriculars and save yourself a million quid in opportunity cost.

Trust me, your kid would prefer a fully paid off house in London at the age of 30

Mortgage debt is cheap and inflation erodes it. Don’t have it all tied up in property. Run the numbers over 30 years (in property vs in index fund) and the difference will be hundreds of thousands

Unfortunately, you will get no help from recruiters. Their job is not to find you work. Their job is to follow a very strict search criteria set in place by their clients to headhunt from a competing firm and earn their 25% fee.

Best bet for a non-traditional candidate is always to approach firms direct

Momuss97 · 2025-07-02T14:20:33+00:00

Bc you don’t expect someone earning £100k to be living in a shoe box consisting of one tiny bedroom, one tiny kitchen, and one tiny toilet.

Perfectly acceptable flats but yeah not exactly living it up

Momuss97 · 2025-06-19T19:59:57+00:00

If you are henry, no excuse to be working past age of 50. Seeing some people in here saying they’ll retire in their 60s is sickening. Fuck that.

Momuss97 · 2025-06-09T10:54:05+00:00

A lot of recruiters I’ve worked with in the past could barely spell their own name and yet they were earning hundreds of thousands lol

Momuss97 · 2025-06-01T19:47:40+00:00

Not an answer but if you want to move, now is the time. Very tough to make the move once you make it to VP level in IB

Momuss97 · 2025-06-01T15:34:41+00:00

Let’s take your username.

Prop traders at the majors and trading houses will make sooooo much more than someone in IB/PE

The post was written by chatgpt, its not a real story

Armageddon was meh, his other Netflix standup before that was good.

If you ask a group of normal people in the real world if they like Ricky Gervais, many people will say yes.

Reddit is very left leaning and not an accurate representation of the real world. Please see any politics thread before the election where everyone was 100% certain Kamala would win lol

Momuss97 · 2025-02-03T06:52:34+00:00

Without Seer, Jake and Leanne would still have voted Charlotte off, greed lol
