INVESTMENT BANKING SURVIVAL GUIDE 101

If you are a recent college graduate or intern starting in investment banking in the next few weeks, this thread is for you

Some unsolicited advice from me

🧵
1/ PAY ATTENTION TO SEAMLESS MEALS

As a young banker, most of your time is spent eating outside. That includes lunch, dinner, dates. Watch the calories

This is #1 because without good health, everything else is meaningless. If you feel bad, nothing else matters.
2/ MAKE THE JOB EASIER FOR SENIORS

The easiest hack to become a top bucket analyst: look at what your Associates and VPs hate doing (probably the grunt work) and love to do them

Make your senior's lives easier and everything else falls in line
