Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
It's an internet forum -- I reserve only my stupidest questions for it.- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
But it doesn't get better. It's pretty pathetic -- and depressing -- right now watching a bunch of 50-year old managing directors panicking and travelling cross-country four days a week pandering to clients just to justify their existence. I didn't think I was bragging at all that I can...- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
People love to snicker that those who work hard and make decent money can't really be happy. But then when someone admits that money isn't everything, he gets derided for it? In any case, I like making money but I don't want to do it in my specific job function. I like thinking creatively...- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
The plan was to move laterally within the organization to our Canadian office; the only way to do that was to talk to my boss. He's been helpful and even has his boss involved. Unfortunately, nothing has come up there in six months, which is unexpectedly disappointing -- I missed ~3 job...- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
Okay, I should clarify a few things: My girlfriend doesn't really care at all about money. The money is important to me, however -- right now, I can afford a nice apartment in a good area, I can go for nice dinners when I want to, go out and spend $100 on drinks some nights, take a nice...- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
I'm actually surprised people didn't say that's the obvious choice. I'm basically looking for either moral support that I can have my cake and eat it too, or people to say "You're a 'tard, girls are a dime a dozen but good jobs these days arent."- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
I make three times as much as most people "in their 20s -> early 30s nowadays." I think I have a lot more to lose and am looking to some objective advice. It's a much bigger adjustment to go from $150k/year to $50k/year than from $70k/year to $50k/year.- leftover_salmon

Am I screwed? Career crisis...at 24.
I've posted here a few times over the past year about trying to move around in finance but actually face a serious issue now. About six months ago, I told my group head that I'm interested in exploring other opportunities in finance, be they at my current firm or with a hedge fund / private...- leftover_salmon

Investment Banking Discussion Thread
Agree with this. Moreover, chances are that when your resume comes across people's desks, that's also what they're thinking. In effect, you're going to be "typecast" -- not that it's a bad thing. Certainly your expertise gives you a leg up on monkeys who don't *really* understand the...- leftover_salmon

dual-tracking employment inquiries
Thanks. Sent the PM an email a few days ago but have not heard back -- position was posted three weeks ago and took about 5 to fill last time. Am not optimistic but would like to get some honest feedback, so would it be appropriate to follow up with the headhunter even though I'm a "waste" of...- leftover_salmon

Investment Banking Discussion Thread
LevFin is actually doing great this year (though the slowdown is starting), and this is a HORRIBLE environment for trading desks at banks. High volatility, spreads steadily widening and low client activity / liquidity is about the worst combination for flow desks. As much as prop trading...- leftover_salmon

Investment Banking Discussion Thread
I'm heading into my 3rd year in banking at a top 5 firm and am desperately trying to get out. I really enjoy the analytical part of finance but I hate serving clients. I'm trying to move over to the buyside because I find it boring to just pitch stuff to clients, most of whom won't follow...- leftover_salmon

dual-tracking employment inquiries
A couple months ago I had several rounds of interviews at a hedge fund. I received great feedback but they ultimately hired someone with a couple more years experience. A headhunter recently brought me an opportunity that is coincidentally at the same fund -- apparently they are expanding this...- leftover_salmon

Affordable custom dress shirts in NYC?
Carl's a good guy but it took forever (read: 8+ weeks) for me to get my shirts from him, and the fits weren't consistent. For some strange reason, my barrel cuff shirts fit much better through the body than my french cuff ones did. This is obviously correctable, but the long wait time turned me...- leftover_salmon
