Why do compliance officers have such a bad rep? It doesn't mean we're not nice people just because we're doing important things!

Being brutally honest: it’s bc they are professional hall monitors.

It’s not a field the smartest and hardest working people are desperate to break into. I view them as dumb / lazy people who go on power trips because they are insecure about their place in the world. Not really people I want to interact with any more than I have to.

I’m genuinely curious to know what kind of power trips you’ve experienced from those in compliance 🤔

Because you guys are dorks

Wow thanks

Because usually they are not on the business side of the equation and most of the time they cannot think outside their own boxes

I don't believe that's true in my case, but thanks for sharing your thoughts on it

Because people do mental gymnastics to convince themselves that we aren’t all on the same team.

We're all working towards the same goal, I don't think that's easy for them to believe...

In my field, our compliance people are nice enough... though a little odd socially. It's more that compliance represents the company's best interest and sometimes that prevents the employee from trying things and being creative. This makes sense for big companies where creativity and individuality would create nightmare scenarios for compliance, but is still disheartening sometimes.

It's quite disheartening

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
