An investment banker
Got any stereotypes about them?
Generalizations below but summarizes my experience in the profession:
- Hard workers in general
- Must at least like working with numbers (i.e arithmetic, not complex maths)
- Lots of narcissists but not exclusive to the job: "many megalomaniacs in finance. But there are assholes every where."
- like diversity in their work/industry
- Typically social and like to party > goes away once they move on to PE.
