No seriously mate. If you make 90k a year and don't have enough savings to pay your car in cash, you either have a too exclusive taste in cars or miserable financial planning skills.

Hey /biz

Not sure if this is the right place to complain. Whatever, he's a little story for you.

>be me, mid30, trader in a small HF (CEO who also takes care of investors,research analyst and me)
>every now and then we hire an intern for 3-6 mths
>they support us with annoying admin stuff for little pay, in return they get a peek into the industry ->win/win
>this time, it's a girl
>smart, good grades, great references and an OKish work history (student jobs)
>on an unrelated note: she's really hot, but that's not why we hired her in the first place (this is not /b so pack it in again)
>I do my thing on markets, while interns work alongside CEO/IR or analyst
>I usually take interns out for lunch within the first 2 weeks of work, just to get to know them a bit better, otherwise I don't have much to do with them
>also I normally don't go out eating, so it's a good excuse for me to get off my desk once in a while
>Send her appointment (through outlook)
>she declines
>Oh, OK, but that's alright. Maybe she has a dentist/hairdressing/pedi thing or whatevs - no biggie
>invite her again the week after
>declined again
>alternatives? NO!
>walk over to her desk after the markets close and ask her what the matter is
>Did not point out I want to know more about her than what her CV says, because I thought that was obvious; like, you know: a work thing...
>So this silly bitch actually replies:
>"Oh I'm sorry anon, I mean, your colleagues talk highly of you and you'd sorta be my type, too. It's just that I have a boyfriend so I can't go out with you. I hope you understand..."
>guys, honestly, I was baffled. I did not expect that.
>so all I could do is just stutter:"oh o-ok..."
>Cringeworthy, I know, but I really had no other words right then

She's 22 now and I'm shitscared what's going to happen once she enters the corporate world for real. I mean, do they get smarter or will it stay like that? Are there more of her? If this is the case, our economy is going down the drain.

Hope you're trolling.

>"not a stock" as not something you'd throw in a 100k you don't actually have.

That's simple...

Fucking colleagues is one thing. But grabbing tits and reaching under skirt in front of others who don't know you have a thing going on is plain and simple stupid.

I'm not saying she deserves those 250k, but if you break it down to $/shag, you could have had mad(DEST) cocaine orgies in junior suites with the hottest escorts in town and still got away with it cheaper.

Those folks have jobs and/or money. No need for them to browse /biz ...

Also you don't seem to be familiar with the Swiss/European mentality. Money is something you don't need to brag about (online or IRL)

One is just rich, enjoy life and shut the fuck up.

again: pic related...

Oh wow. People who knew people....

Well I remember it precisely. I was 20 yrs old, working as a cash equity trader on the desk of a Swiss private bank. We never had as much order flow as back then. They were mainly sell orders, initiated by the credit department resulting from margin calls. It was a bloodbath. Noone who witnessed this refers to it as "remebering it vaguely".

And then there's you.

Wanting to get rich is not a carreer path. Get a job, learn the basics, build your network. If you are smart and/or lucky enough, you will disrupt whatever industry your in. You will work long and hard, bust your balls and maybe, someday you will realize you've become rich. But you will then see it as a side effect, as a collateral damage to the effort you put in your hard work.

But that's a long way. To begin with - get a job.
