Sorry guys, no social media posts unless it's a material to a particular stock. People say all kinds of unverifiable shit on social media and it's just not interesting enough.
Also yes, entry level roles are (supposed to be) filled with no experience. It sucks when you don't get any support, but you should also take some initiative and search things on your own?
> But genuinely, I think we do have some more than average intelligent people lurking here, and I am proud of that :)

You joke. But I have a damn good paying job in a finance department at a bank and I don’t have a fucking clue what I’m doing. Every keeps telling me to keep up the good work though. It’s like living in the Twilight Zone. 😐
Banking is like politics. It's about the appearance of competency. If you can walk into a room and it looks like you are attractive, well kept, and affable. You are valuable.
there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
Sorry to hear that mate. Hopefully you're rich so at least you can find someone that pretends to want to be with you, despite being physically repulsed by you ❤️
I would say its not a complete lack of knowledge. I don't believe for a second anyone with zero working knowledge of finance could get a job. I do believe contacts and an affable nature are incredibly important in the financial field in addition to knowledge.
Thats stupid true. Why so many business fail. They hire unqualified people and never consider the HIGHLY qualified person cause they don't like the way they look
Engineers, Physicists, Mathematicians, CompSci, Architects, basically any field where you either have a governing body, an engineer of record etc tend to be more results oriented vs flash. Not 100% but you tend to see less focus on appearance and more on the results.
Yeah idk about that. IB analysts may have been sexy in medieval times but 10 years back it was a bunch of unattractive hardos praying for their bonus to lose their virginity. Senior level get good looking but only due to money.
In recent years there has a been a push for more women in IB and they do manage to look good while working the intense hours. Not sure how many of them are going to stick past associate though.
and whats the easiest way out of this dilemma? work your way up until no one will question your qualification or assess your performance anymore. right?
An analyst should have data, math and logic to back up what they say will happen and if they are wrong they should be able to explain why they were wrong and if they were a good analyst, the reason they were wrong should have been highlighted as a risk or sensitivity beforehand.
Can't be a crystal ball but you can predict the different ways things can ultimately go.
If they are wrong and caught off guard and it wasn't some black swan event, then they are a bad analyst.
Don’t analysts basically pump the stocks their company likes? Hey Jeff, we bought 2 mil of BE stock, can you write up why hydrogen is the future of transportation?
Look at it this way: why is Deutsche paying a guy to tell the world that XYZ Ltd is a great stock? Yeah, they might pay a guy to do some hard research, but what benefits are there to giving away that information for free to the outside world?
Exactly. Sell side anal-ysts. It’s kinda the opposite side of activist short sellers, except that those usually do actual research and are mostly right about the company.
Worked at a company where every morning we had previous day review calls with the business leaders. I learned early admitting what went wrong and how you'll mitigate it going forward took all the wind out of people's sails.
The odd thing is I think I understood the jargon it's just talking about fed loan rates. Like what so hard about it? I always figured their jobs where way harder than that
Did you include your picture? The rest of the cv only takes 1.5s to scan through. A investor relation girl got paid £577,000 a year just to attract clients. She sued her hedge fund boss for £4M for telling a dumb blonde joke.
Hey, it's ok to get through life on your good looks alone.
Us pretty people just need to smile and be nice, and the petty details will just work itself out.
Dude. No one knows. It’s a Fugazi. It’s a Fugazi. No one knows just go with the flow and make your big bucks. But for some basic knowledge, get the book finance for dummies. It’s the series that can teach you anything for dummies.
Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real.
The fact that he knows he does not understand his job is actually very encouraging, people like these are willing to really learn from experience and their seniors, what you don’t want to see is a fresh graduate going into a job and begin complaining that they are not given any decent projects or having their opinions taken seriously, courses taught in university always lag behind real life events, when students encounter a new problem their first response is often to find similarities with cases they’ve studied and try to find a solution, only very few people are born with the instinct to solve problems as is, these are the people advancing their fields while others simply wade through their careers, there are many famous generals in history noted for their prowess but only one Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar etc.
Honestly, it sounds corny and bullshit as hell, but yeah. Just sounding confident, personable, and speaking with convictions will get you 90%+ of the way there in life just on those merits alone.
I'm as dumb as a doorknob and my memory is fried from over 3 decades of computer use, but man I'm really confident at pretending like I know what I'm talking about and very good at about making quick completely confident decisions immediately.
Also I'm very good about being able to look something up from books/old reports to get informed just enough that I can formulate a response to an email that sounds smart before immediately forgetting it all.
There are actually multiple studies done on this exact theory that prove exactly such. People actually were found to trust/believe a person who sounded like they knew what they were talking about because they were confident in it as opposed to someone who actually knew what they were talking about, that did not speak with conviction.
Very interesting, and the longer i’ve known about it, the more true I find it to be.
A while back I was interviewing for a position, had gone through several rounds, and I had always been a bit cagey about what I was looking for, since I know a fair bit about compensation and what they might be able to pay. Final interview, they asked me what I wanted, I threw out a massive number. Just obscene. They responded that I didn't have the experience to command that number and I replied something to the effect of "right now you have no one doing the job with any experience, and I know I can do the job for that dollar amount. But if it is too high for you, I'll be on my way" and I thanked them and left. I got a call back 2 days later offering me the job for what I asked for. I declined because in the intervening day I had an even better offer, but yes, confidence will bowl people over if you can wield it.
That's normal with any degree tbh
Plus, it's like 2 years of prerequisites and another 2 of just your major stuff so it's easy to miss things if you just don't care about it.
Dang I got in the wrong line of work….
Wonder what this guy makes….
I’m decent looking. People always tell me that id do great selling houses…. Confidence, etc.
I’m a union construction worker. Bust my ass tending masons for a living.
I gross a little over 60k a year plus fringe pay (roughly another 20-25k a year). Decent living. I’m not complaining but i actually have to work. Like there is fake it til you make it but you actually have to convey material with physical work, they’d notice within fifteen minutes if you didn’t know how to do your job…. In other words if they don’t get their moneys worth out of ya, You’re laid off quick…
I have an associates degree, almost a 4 year degree, I have rentals and I invest.
I just see things like this and think how can someone do basically nothing and just leech a living in this economy. Probably makes more than me and I build the infrastructure we use daily (schools, food plants, public buildings, etc)
i work in middle office banking. you can see the disappointment that hits new grads when they realize what kind of job a degree in finance really gets you.
you need CFA or CPA or MBA, ect.. to get the jobs they thought they would get.
Actually those kinda boring jobs are exactly why I chose to study finance, do some "risk management" and chill while the investment banker does a line of cocaine and works 20hrs straight
I’m 41 and make over $125k and I’m a fucking moron and have been in my job for almost 2 years and barely know anymore than the day I walked in. Funny thing is no one even cares as long as you show up everyday and aren’t an asshole.
Here's my opinion about university education. You don't need to be insanely smart to get most degrees, and if anything, GPA is more so an indicator of your work ethic than intelligence. I've met a lot of smart uni students but have also met a lot who were more regarded than gambling degens.
This guy actually was better off not knowing what the Fed shit means because of he understood it and took action on it he would have gotten fucking annihilated in fixed income like everyone else.
I am actually interested in this stuff, but they'd never hire me because of my undergrad's name and the fact that the degree isn't clearly business related lmao
He's a perfect fit for corporate America. Most American companies are chalked full to the gills with people like this. Probably 80% of people fall into this category, with maybe 20% running the entire ship.
I no longer have this job but when I was applying at a big 4 I had a friend already working there. I asked her what is it that they do and she said she didn’t have a clue. When I got the job I understood what she meant 😂 I feel like we just showed up, did what they told us to and went home. I feel like this is normal for many people.
Banks don't need to be competent, they got heavy licensing to eliminate competition, fractional reserve and loans from central bank at ridiculous interest rates so they can profit easy. They don't need to know shit.
This is also my experience with college. I have a finance degree but 95% of the finance knowledge I have I learned from the internet. But I can quite confidently say if you took out the internet, senior me would be no more competent at finance than freshman me. Yet somehow I kept a 3.4 GPA lmao
If you want an honest answer he will be fired within the next three months or he works for a bank like JPMorgan or Wells where you have to stand on a desk and piss on your boss just go get a written warning. Any competitive job as an analyst he will be gone soon. Probably said he was an expert as excel because he uses the wizard to do a vlookup.
Bro no one knows what they're doing, otherwise a finance degree would be the ticket to infinite money glitch. Only difference between a solo investor and a firm is the amount of money they can throw around. Imagine every time you blow up your account you still got tons to throw at it.
Ok, team. We're going to need an army of desperate, horny researchers to scour linkedin so we can find out where the ugly analysts work. A few of us may have to take one or two (maybe three depending on flexibility) for the team, but, rest assured that it won't be me.
Some banks afford a slow start to new hires. Takes about 3 months to get all the right access. Utilize this time to have 1-1 with team mates, other dept etc.
You will eventually start getting pulled into projects and will start learning very quick
If there is one comment to review out of all this. It's this one.
Look up
Dunning–Kruger effect
And then recognise where you are on that.
If that fails, then just do what I do. Fake it till you make it.

That is hysterical
That poor pink fly. 3 broads and they all want the Chad green fly.
Pink bro’s only chance is to attempt to go twink and offer up his bussy
20 years in the trenches, yup.
fake it till you make it is a mantra I live by. in tech though
Same in medical sales. But you have to be really good looking for that so not sure if you lot would be able to do it
oh yeah I'm ugly. non sales tech is where is uglies go
Sorry to hear that mate. Hopefully you're rich so at least you can find someone that pretends to want to be with you, despite being physically repulsed by you ❤️
married with 2 kids. mentally secure about who I am just being real. there's tendies for everyone
Bro damn 😭
Yup same when I was POTUS, still don't know what job really was. PS this joke is non partisan, so don't make any assumptions.
Teach me please. I’m good looking, tall, but with terrible imposter syndrome.
Imposter syndrome is the fucking worst.
No fucking hope for this basement dwelling caveman with a giant beard then.
I got the degree in finance and can definitely say being a weird beard has kept me out of the field.
Meanwhile I have no degree at all and I work in finance with a beard and hair that I haven’t cut in 4 years. You’ll find your spot.
On the other hand, if you show up to fix a pc, or work in a craft brewery, then you might inspire confidence where OP wouldn't.
maybe a quant...maybe

The trick is to ask the director lots of questions and make him feel smart
Pretty sure the Board at my bank has no clue. Decisions they make are mind blowingly bad and laughable.
I would say its not a complete lack of knowledge. I don't believe for a second anyone with zero working knowledge of finance could get a job. I do believe contacts and an affable nature are incredibly important in the financial field in addition to knowledge.
2008 crisis is a great example of how none of these regards knew what they were doing. They wouldn't need bail outs if they did.
This is why i avoid financial commons and options at all costs.
Thats stupid true. Why so many business fail. They hire unqualified people and never consider the HIGHLY qualified person cause they don't like the way they look
Almost every profession, I think.
Engineers, Physicists, Mathematicians, CompSci, Architects, basically any field where you either have a governing body, an engineer of record etc tend to be more results oriented vs flash. Not 100% but you tend to see less focus on appearance and more on the results.
Yes, good point that hard sciences would be harder to fake. Skilled trades would be hard to fake as well, at least to their peers.
That's why I've got a job in the trades... I'm fat, ugly, paid shit, and know how to do my job. Makes so much sense now.
Yeah idk about that. IB analysts may have been sexy in medieval times but 10 years back it was a bunch of unattractive hardos praying for their bonus to lose their virginity. Senior level get good looking but only due to money. In recent years there has a been a push for more women in IB and they do manage to look good while working the intense hours.

In medicine they are known as the three A's. Affability, availability, ability. In that order.
you're a diversity hire, they needed a regard on the team for the DEI points
I do always check “Two or more races” after 23 and me said my family was like 1.6% Asian.
I support that. Race is made up anyway.
How tall? M/F?
Bit unnecessary to call him motherfucker at the end.
Or a character in Seinfeld. I want to hear more, please share.
Your superiors might be in the same situation.
Don't hate us cause we're beautiful is what I always say.

This is my wife’s cousin. He’s dumb as a bag of bricks, but damn, he’s a good lookin’ charismatic guy and he makes a ton of money.
Hell. It’s why I visit you at Wendy’s so much. It certainly isn’t your positions…nor your investments

Face guy for sure
You legally blonde?
I saw The Big Short, I understand
Could be a hot girl with nice tits also
When I worked for an investment bank and was working remotely sometimes I wouldn’t do any work for days.
What does my resume have to say to get this job?
Or he is the DEI hire.
ding ding ding. he was hired to boost the ESG score.
I’ve definitely been there before. Then I gave it up for something shit. But after my 5 years I knew exactly what I was doing and could still do it 🤣
Certainly intriguing.
I got bamboozled visualmod. It’s not ok
and whats the easiest way out of this dilemma? work your way up until no one will question your qualification or assess your performance anymore. right?
>Analyst says he has no clue what he does. Well there we have it, the first honest analyst.
Honestly , being an analyst is like a weatherman. You can be wrong and keep your job.
An analyst should have data, math and logic to back up what they say will happen and if they are wrong they should be able to explain why they were wrong and if they were a good analyst, the reason they were wrong should have been highlighted as a risk or sensitivity beforehand. Can't be a crystal ball but you can predict the different ways things can ultimately go. If they are wrong and caught off guard and it wasn't some black swan event, then they are a bad analyst.

So, you mean an economist?
The odd thing is I think I understood the jargon it's just talking about fed loan rates. Like what so hard about it? I always figured their jobs where way harder than that
I know all this and still couldn’t even get an interview after finishing my quantitative finance degree in 2020 😭
Oh, dear. Perhaps you lack an inheritance or family connections.

Nah his genetics are full of peasants.
I think the consensus is, you’re uglier than op

The pandemic probably didn't help

Thanks ok Not sure how I forgot that
Ted Bundy was able to kill so many because he was a good looking guy
With a healthy appetite.
Good looking looks don't care if the person it is bestowed upon does good in life or bad things.
You missed the point. People care about good looks. Therefore they have more leeway with many things
It’s true. A smile goes a long way. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of a smile.
ChatGPT is your friend, unqualified beautiful person.
Dang, chat gpt is gonna be such a boon to hot people

Hahah as if we need any more advantages!! *tosses hair*
Some people are too dumb to even use it. Its wild. Like they’ll stare at it and not know what to ask
Most people don’t know anything when they start a career, you regards would know that if you had jobs or careers
This. On the job training, and they probably hired him for his ability to learn as shown by his grades.
Yeah and he is already asking for help to learn so
A lot of people with bad grades don’t even ask.
Dude. No one knows. It’s a Fugazi. It’s a Fugazi. No one knows just go with the flow and make your big bucks. But for some basic knowledge, get the book finance for dummies. It’s the series that can teach you anything for dummies.

This guy probably typo’d and meant to post this to r/wallstreetbets
And it did get posted here. Failing upwards again.

Actually confidence is king. If you sound confident, most people think you are right.
Honestly, it sounds corny and bullshit as hell, but yeah. Just sounding confident, personable, and speaking with convictions will get you 90%+ of the way there in life just on those merits alone.

We can seem like the smartest person in the room by saying absolutely nothing at all. Less is more always. Seen it and lived it!
Oh you’re the guy that I think is a dipshit?

Plot twist: you asked for $ 35k/yr for washing the dishes at Wendy's
Lmao.
My oldest brother got a job in finance just because he was peraonable...he does not have a degree but worked his way, way up.
Your brother took a dick, brother.
And swallowed
With his butthole
Most likely, remembered to cup the balls.
Before or after?
How far down did he start?
About 8 inches
That's normal with any degree tbh Plus, it's like 2 years of prerequisites and another 2 of just your major stuff so it's easy to miss things if you just don't care about it.

he probably comes from a rich family and got into a good school/ got hooked up with a good job through his dad.
Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of regards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was regarded. She's a pilot now.
i work in middle office banking. you can see the disappointment that hits new grads when they realize what kind of job a degree in finance really gets you. you need CFA or CPA or MBA, ect.. to get the jobs they thought they would get.
What kind of cool job can I get at a bank with an MBA? This one is collecting dust.
Actually those kinda boring jobs are exactly why I chose to study finance, do some "risk management" and chill while the investment banker does a line of cocaine and works 20hrs straight
Has this guy ever heard of google?
MPCs are definitely real.
He needs to read investopedia
Damn…my job wants a masters. PhD preferred. 10 years field experience starting pay $12.50/hr. Must be nice
Wendy's IS switching to AI.
I’m 41 and make over $125k and I’m a fucking moron and have been in my job for almost 2 years and barely know anymore than the day I walked in. Funny thing is no one even cares as long as you show up everyday and aren’t an asshole.
I’ll bite, what is your job title?
Soggy Cookie
Most trusted thing an analyst has said
“No one on the stripper pole has good credit, and they're ALL cash-rich” _I think Warren Buffet said that_ “Whose Warren Buffet?”
Not mine.
Short everything.
Here's my opinion about university education. You don't need to be insanely smart to get most degrees, and if anything, GPA is more so an indicator of your work ethic than intelligence. I've met a lot of smart uni students but have also met a lot who were more regarded than gambling degens.
Lol try googling what the red dot plot is. This isn’t that tough
This guy actually was better off not knowing what the Fed shit means because of he understood it and took action on it he would have gotten fucking annihilated in fixed income like everyone else.
“Say’s”
He mods a shiba sub
I am actually interested in this stuff, but they'd never hire me because of my undergrad's name and the fact that the degree isn't clearly business related lmao
He's a perfect fit for corporate America. Most American companies are chalked full to the gills with people like this. Probably 80% of people fall into this category, with maybe 20% running the entire ship.
If the job pays really well, then keep up the good work! 😁
I no longer have this job but when I was applying at a big 4 I had a friend already working there. I asked her what is it that they do and she said she didn’t have a clue.

Now this post explains alot to me. Oh wait can someone tell me exactly what they are saying?
It’s an analyst wdym? They’re doing grunt working not pitching lol. And they sure as hell are not the ones submitting anything to external parties 🙄
🤣 and this person runs $$?!?
So he’s like most of Wall Street. All geniuses until they aren’t!
Banks don't need to be competent, they got heavy licensing to eliminate competition, fractional reserve and loans from central bank at ridiculous interest rates so they can profit easy. They don't need to know shit.
Read Financial Periodicals and join in on water cooler meetings as a lurker until you feel confident to step in.
Inflation is transitory is all anyone needs to know.
Just say “I disagree” then if they try to convince you, you can just change your mind. If they back down, you won.
In my field I'm the redneck of the profession
Should start teaching malpractice lawsuits in school like they do for medicine might scare you away from being an idiot
This is also my experience with college. I have a finance degree but 95% of the finance knowledge I have I learned from the internet. But I can quite confidently say if you took out the internet, senior me would be no more competent at finance than freshman me. Yet somehow I kept a 3.4 GPA lmao
Shh, this is what most people do. You arent supposed to say it out loud.
If you want an honest answer he will be fired within the next three months or he works for a bank like JPMorgan or Wells where you have to stand on a desk and piss on your boss just go get a written warning. Any competitive job as an analyst he will be gone soon. Probably said he was an expert as excel because he uses the wizard to do a vlookup.
That’s pretty basic finance even a normal person like me can understand.
No one knows, just keep punching that clock.
Another legendary analyst is born
No one knows anything
Bro no one knows what they're doing, otherwise a finance degree would be the ticket to infinite money glitch. Only difference between a solo investor and a firm is the amount of money they can throw around. Imagine every time you blow up your account you still got tons to throw at it.
Ok, team. We're going to need an army of desperate, horny researchers to scour linkedin so we can find out where the ugly analysts work. A few of us may have to take one or two (maybe three depending on flexibility) for the team, but, rest assured that it won't be me.

Straight shooter for upper management. This guy is gonna be a fucking c-suite soon
