The douchest of all bags. Considering you reached such a high douche rate so prematurely I’m guessing you didn’t come from a great stock. Middle-America, middle management self-loathing father? So much to overcome! Tough break jr. At the very least you should know that your chutzpah may get you into the jockey position at the Excel station but trading won’t be calling soon.

listen kid - it’s 99% “x-factor”, or more commonly referred to as common sense, work ethic, thick skin, sense of responsibility and some semblance of personality. something 9/10 analysts don’t possess.
in fact, these traits should be called “prerequisites” and any nominal skillset you enter your internship with can be called the x-factor.
enjoy the next few years of hell

A few observations:
Ivy League schools who offer “Entrepreneurship” as a major/minor: 0
The X-factor is tangible. Example : varsity sports (especially football and lacrosse)
Little does this kid know that he already has no life wearing suits and spending all his time on the phone talking to randos instead of hanging out with his friends and picking up girls at college bars
Any 1st year who “walks the BSD walk” let alone an undergrad candidate will end up bottom-tier come bonus season if they make it that far

Scared the guy off?
He has no future in IB, in NY, or in anything that pays over $50K (that’s a year), unless you goes to work for the state government.
No brain. No savvy. No guts.
