Ponzi scheme for current deal that we identified after getting engaged and in the middle of process…

We’re still moving forward with the transaction.

Was just thinking about this today. In my analyst training way back, some of the guys in the class were picking on a female analyst who looking back was a bit socially awkward, but it was entirely uncalled for and unprofessional. Within her earshot, one guy muttered to another, “she just loves the c*ck” in response to her saying something - I don’t even remember what. I wish I had the moral strength to have said something then.

Does anyone else feels like the job market today is like the 2013 Real Estate Market? It is a buyer’s market. It’s saturated with jobs, but no one wants to work. And recruits are not taking advantage of the ones who want to work.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
