<p>huh....that's just sad dude..... I mean, seriously, you're obsessed with a career which I honestly doubt you'll ever succeed to enter (your inferiority complex has you doomed for failure). And even if you do, you're probably never going to become an MD. So yeah...good luck with that</p>

63

<p>I think you're mistaking my superiority for a complex of the same name, except you mixed it up with an inferiority complex.</p>

64

<p>Luminaire, you officially drove me away from i-banking, forever. Have fun in ibanking. You'll fit in great in i-banking, with your insecurities and arrogance and all.</p>

<p>Good luck with that....I'll be laughing from my corner office at 51 West 52nd Street when you get laid off/fired/washed out.</p>

65

<p>I'll be laughing regardless....</p>

66

<p>Lol :D</p>

</p>

<p>If I-bankers are arrogant and insecure, what does that make corporate lawyers?</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Deal.</p>

68

<p>You altered my quote. </p>

<p>Whatever, have fun with your trophy wife who only loves you for your money. I'll go live in my condo and live with someone who actually loves me because I can intelligibly talk about something other than Excel, money, and your banking assistant, whom you were caught sexually harassing SIX times.</p>

<p>By the way, you have serious psychological deficiencies. Go see a freaking therapist.</p>

69

<p>wait...you're a dude? you sound like a total girl.</p>

<p>let the bashing continue</p>

71

<p>Guys, this is a really good thread for iBanking. Let's keep the argument out before it gets locked or something.</p>

72

<p>how do you do quotes?</p>

73

<p>No offense, futurenyustudent, but you are in for a rude awakening if you are somehow under the impression that insecurity and arrogance is exclusive to investment banking and is not an aspect of BigLaw.</p>

<p>Anyway, we should keep the topic focused on its intended purpose. I think people have found it beneficial, and it would be a shame for it to be locked.</p>

74

<p>As funny as the bashing has been, I too would prefer if we kept it down a bit to avoid this great thread from being locked. There are a lot of insightful people in here, and the information provided has been great.</p>

<p>with that said, LOL @ Luminaire vs futurenyustudent</p>

75

<p>Majayiduke: I never made any claim that it's exclusive to ibanking or corporate law. Insecure, arrogant douchebags exist in all industries, whether that be ibanking or corporate law or medicine or education or hotel management. They even exist at NYU. I'm pointing out that it's more prevalent in ibanking.</p>

<p>Yeah, unfortunately fore you, PennHopeful, I'm going to preserve (what's left of) my dignity and stop talking to Luminaire, as of this second.</p>

77

<p>if i work two years in investment banking then go get a MBA from like Harvard where would I stand in the chain if i went back into the business? would i be a MD or still be a analyst?</p>

78

<p>You'd be an associate. You typically do that for 3-4 years, then you go up to vice president, do that for 5-6 years, then sometimes you go up to director, and sometimes to MD. Assuming, of course, you don't burn out within those 8-10 years.</p>

79

<p>^^^But you aren't guaranteed getting promoted right? I mean, obviously if you're a genius and are helping the company a lot, you'll get promoted faster, but if you're below average it's not guaranteed.</p>

80

<p>There are no guarantees in any private industry. If you work hard and prove to be a valuable asset, then you;ll be compensated accordingly with promotions/higher salary etc. If you want guarantees, you might be better off looking into public positions ( public as in government institutions) and even then a lot still rests on networking and people skills.</p>
