    My first finance internship interview was with an ex army guy in private equity. He grilled me bad and bragged how smart the current intern was I front of the two of us. Didn’t get the offer but I made sure I prepped for every interview after that moment. Promised myself afterwards I would never go into banking, now I’m going into research. Life is funny sometimes. 😂😂

    Kind of a funny story. I use to work in transaction advisory (Quality of Earnings). During one of my first in person meetings on a sell side deal, I was asking one of the owners son’s (who was prob in his late 20’s early 30’s) if he was a shoe collector since he showed up in yeezys, thought it would be a good ice breaker since he was in on the meeting on behalf of his father. Not a good ice breaker at all. My team, and him and his team just looked at me confused and in awkward silence. He then proceeded to say, I buy them because I can and asked me to proceed with my questions list… lol

How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.

    One of my first client interviews, the client, an uppity chap, offered a cup of tea. Nervous about the interview and uptight client, I knocked the cup of tea on to the guy's brand new forest green carpet. I then took my paper napkin and began rubbing which of course shredded the napkin on that brand new carpet. I panicked, and mumbled something about cleaning it up. He too is panicked and yells, "Oh no leave it alone. I'll take care of it." Any wonder why I never did any business with that guy?
