one of the biggest lessons in life is that vF is never actually vF. i think that this can be applied to every facet of life. no chapter is ever closed. always keep that in mind.
happy sunday everyone
For two months I haven't paid for a single meal in NYC.
Here's how:
I take my Adderall in the morning, which suppresses my appetite until dinner, and then I expense dinner because I'm always working late.
How I sit at my desk knowing the draft I sent in was pure dogshit, I have too much capacity to not get staffed, and that those three lunch beers are not sitting well
crazy to comprehend the sheer number of industry-shaping transactions being driven by some sleep deprived 23 year old who is most likely plugging shareholders equity
there are legitimate 20 yr olds advancing to the third round of the australian open and i’m sitting in front of a monitor deciding how to footnote a pro forma adjustment
b*tches live a whole year just to split an 8 person Airbnb in the hamptons for MDW in the hopes that they meet some broken down associate who decides to marry them
it’s crazy how you can be doing lines with someone in a club bathroom and then twelve hours later that same person will send you an email asking why ebitda margins are off
My dream gf:
- gives me a daily market update every morning
- not self made (trust fund baby)
- gives me scratches behind the ear whenever I’m a good boy
- birkenstocks
- really weird and only a little bit funny
- no moral compass whatsoever
- makes banger spaghetti & meatballs
i like to schedule all my undergrad networking calls for one night and just pop an edible before
the shit that comes out of my mouth is absolutely ridiculous
Hi!
Hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to go on a date with me. I very much enjoyed our conversation and appreciated the time spent together.
Looking forward to continuing in the process - I would welcome any feedback.
“Yo this place is my dream bank”
bro there’s no such thing as a dream bank. they’re all the same. you do the same work. the slides look the same. the colors are different. the only reason you’d have a dream bank is if you get a hard on for their bank color palette.
my MBA summer associate’s like i’m so slammed i have meetings all day
my brother in ego these are not meetings these are calls where you’re muted and taking notes
POV you see me on the way to teach my first year a lesson after he turned all my comments incorrectly and then proceeded to ask if Wednesday was protected
*checking the LinkedIn of some cocky private credit associate to make sure he’s junior enough before I send him an extremely disrespectful response to his stupid diligence request*
Investment Committee: This company is shit, there’s no meaningful cash flow, and the risk here is way too high
Coverage MD: Blackstone is the sponsor
IC:
If Michigan wins, Ross alumni in bullpens across America will be more egotistical than ever before (if that’s even possible) and I’m not sure anyone is ready for that
i hate those monday morning work conversation that are like
“how was your weekend”
“oh it was pretty chill and low key, just hung out with friends”
*both nursing two day old hangovers but will never mention it*
The plan:
- tell my associate I’m going to go out Saturday night
- have associate tell me I need to work
- existential crisis
- throw myself into work to drown out emotions
- “dude the adrenaline is amazing - I love this job”
- call suicide hotline
- wake up Sunday morning
My apologies to the shareholders, this model is going to have to wait until tomorrow as I am currently incapacitated due my consumption of 3,000 calories of Trader Joe’s baked cheese crunchies
I don’t align logos, I showcase companies.
I don’t artificially inflate IRR, I’m naturally an optimistic person.
I don’t make formatting errors, I’m just keeping my associate sharp.
This is who I am.
I provide shareholder value.
The first draft is always the hardest
The model has to be built and those slides won’t create themselves
But after that it’s smooth sailing
Just edits
And eventually you get to the final product
Take that first step
