Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Hahaha I love this meme format. I remember when I first entered investment banking and I thought I would eventually get recognition for work in this industry lolol. I think IB is one of the most brutal industries, half the time nobody even knows your name lol. Definitely a mask off moment to realize that work is never going to love you back

If only it was a meritocracy instead of a popularity contest…
Working in IB=you’re already a clown
True, but there are levels to this. Some of us are clowns, others the whole circus 🎪
Yea I definitely agree with you OP. Too many times I have chosen the job above my mental health and sanity and it is always a mistake. At the end of the day we only get one life to live and these jobs really do not care about us so we shouldn't make ourselves slaves to them.
lol how long did it take for you to realize this? I was trying so hard my first year before giving up.
