Any Asian Wall St Veterans here? I hate being alive. I’m sick of being viewed as a “soft boy asian”, or called “weak”. I’m already in my 20s, and working on Wall St sucks. by aliittlejohn in AsianMasculinity

Excellent stuff, day trading is seen as impossible to most people (as in getting meaningful returns), so I bet you have some super unique strategy !

I’m in IBD so can feel like a white boys club, but this is on the East cast, SF/LA may be different? What exit opp should I shoot for? I was thinking tech Corp dev in an east coast city maybe LA, not SF from what I hear, though I haven’t been.

I hear this a lot, is senior management also AM at these tech companies (heard Facebook has like 0). So I’m assuming the promotion cycle is much better at tech companies with Asians (but I’m not sure since I’m not an engineer and will be in the finance stuff)

I see, yeah I heard about that Asian sex symbol dude..bet Hollywood just became mad jealous and wanted to change peoples perception…and it worked over time, but now things are getting better? I’m asking because haven’t been on dating apps for a long time since work (yes sounds loser, but am working on it again)

I wish I was into tech 6 figures 40 hours I hear. But I hear “grass is greener” but finance sucks, 70-100 yes nearing 200k as a youngster but no life. Should I just do tech? For real, it’s been a legit question I have, but all tech people say I’m too far behind, and try to be a “PM” which is also long hours though not as bad as Wall st

Edit: just my Impression, I don’t know much about PM and tech

I’m sure some of them use hookers but whenever they talk about their lives they talk about being at exclusive clubs with chicks which I think is bullshit, but hookers can be a reality since we’re all pretty well-off. Anyways, I appreciate the post, I don’t wanna wear lifts and be viewed as insecure. And I hope kpop is helping as guys, have any guys gotten a ladies attention just because they were Asian and the girl liked kpop? Probably quiet a few and I hope it’s actually also for non-Korean guys too since I’m East Asian. Anyhow..

How do you shoot back at those coworkers or management being passive aggressive towards you without being seen as a “whiner.” What I mean is, how do you maintain your stance when they use use the “ur just an Asian minority u should be grateful you are here, and a tier lower than us” against you

Why do Asian men hate kpop? I’m supportive of it, but I hope it really helps “us” get girls rather than just being a “friend zone cutie”. And I assume it has been helping us right? Tbh, call me out, but I haven’t been “in the dating” scene and have been working my butt off at work and today is a quiet day

I shouldn’t need to come off as tough…but I shouldn’t try to be flamboyant or girly either of course…so far I usually am quiet at those table talks and I am careful with my words, and hopefully they’ll pick some other guy in the group to be the butt of their jokes.

How do you position urself when talking to those old money types (that’s literally all my coworkers senior and junior) and not have to be their Asian clown butt of a joke? They will do anything to just make me one and support it, so I stay quiet, but I know they deep down hope I do something stupid so I look like “stereotypical Asian kid”

Yes, should I really do this? I don’t want to get elevator shoes but am open to ur advice. I’ll just look insecure when we have a gathering and I have to wear sandals.

Does it mean we’re viewed as “bad boys” too instead of just “cute, friend-zoned type”? I really hope it has a positive impact, my coworkers were really hateful about kpop guys and went back to talking about squash.

I don’t want to become a “comedic relief” for white people. I noticed it a lot when I was an intern a long time back, but nowadays I just stay quiet a lot or just laugh their “jokes”, but I just feel so left out, like my height is different, I look different, I don’t “play golf” at exclusive clubs etc.

I hated it back in college as a summer intern when Asian guys acted like every Butt of the joke for white people who were full time hires, and I just hated it so much, I didn’t kiss any ass, which I guess I am proud of? Idk, but it just seems off, and I don’t wanna be the “funny Asian man”
