Flex on bitches as hard as I can, eat halal, and drive the Lam

Make a lot of money while putting in as little effort as possible. Use that money to do things I actually enjoy (travel, eat, buy expensive things, etc).

That being said, Deloitte is a good spot for me. Decent pay, not too many hours, and is a pretty respected brand name firm.

M1: perhaps I misunderstood your “flex on bitches” Did you mean F&P (flexibility & predictability)? Like I want to have a very flexible work schedule!
The way it was written, it seemed like you were saying “I’m a bad ass player/Casanova and want to flex my muscles to get the ladies”; we all know that ain’t getting you shit ;)
Followed by eating halal suggesting you were maybe religious as well.
