[Centerview Analyst Suing for $5mn for not Being Allowed to Sleep 9 Hours]( - "Less than three weeks later in September 2020, Shiber was summoned to a video meeting where two Centerview administrators fired her, tersely informing her the firm could no longer accommodate her sleep requirement. She has subsequently sued Centerview, accusing the firm of violating federal and state anti-discrimination laws that she believes apply to her based on her mental illness diagnoses. She is requesting $5mn in damages..." 2) [IB Folk from Developing Countries - Ever Thought of Working ~10 Years in the US and Moving Back to Home?]() - "I grew up in a very rural part of a country in Africa. I will not be planning to move home any time. From living in the US, I look back and realize life was slower, I had limited access to technology, markets are mainly outdoor. You may think it is a slower, simpler life but it was a hard life. Water and food made me and my neighbours sick. Health care is expensive and difficulty with access. It was heavily polluted in many parts. Local people have malnutrition. There were high levels of illiteracy. There is many other differences from here that make it not even close to comparison. Many other countries are nicer region than where I am from but I would want to remain in the US to work, not return to home country..." 3) [Courtside at an NBA Game](=) - "This data room is a real MVP! It's like having a top draft pick on your team. The intuitive workspaces are a smooth layup, and the effortless permissions are a perfect assist. The advanced Q&A functionality is like a fast break, putting the tedious parts of due diligence on autopilot. And the ironclad encryption? That's the defensive player of the year, keeping our data locked down. It's the all-star player every deal team needs!" 4) [Did I Make a Mistake Leaving IB, I'm Bored as Shit]( - "You’d rather continue working than live life? Take a step back. You have fully adopted the persona of a corporate drone. You are living to work, not working to live. And no, I’m not saying a 5 hour evening Netflix binge is what life is about. Go take up sports, develop hobbies and form meaningful relationships with people."

TOP DISCUSSIONS CONTINUED 5) [Funniest Banking Sayings]() - "Is it just me or does everyone enjoy when people change it up with sayings. My MD always says (and we’re a boutique) “everyone wants the sexiest girl at the dance but sometimes you have to settle for the ugly fat chick” referencing not everyone can bank a sick company so you have to settle for dealing with a couple shitcos to pay the bills..." 6) [The Best European City to Start Your Career in IB/PE]() - "London is the only relevant city at the European level. If you're French yes there's Paris and if you're German there's Frankfurt, but they don't compare to London." 7) [Private Credit - Golden Age?](=) - "Do what you enjoy and find more interesting. While buyout / GE is going to be hit for a bit, it’s not gone. It’s not like you’re picking between two ultra specific areas and one could be permanently impaired - e.g. crypto VC. Not trying to start a debate on the future of crypto, more as an example of a space that could theoretically disappear vs a general space like buyouts." 8) [Finally 40, Thought I’d Have a Higher Net Worth by Now]( - "I am now heavily considering starting my own PC fund in the next 5-10 years bc that is the only way I’ll make real money. I am not embarrassed to say I want a jet or at least, I don’t want to think twice about paying for jet access. I would like to own more real estate and have a second home in another country etc. I would’ve thought this was more or less achievable as an MD on Wall Street but I’m finding out it’s really not unless you want to stretch yourself thin which I will never do..." 9) [Best Multi Manager?]() - "For MMs, the only thing that you should be thinking of is (i) who my PM is and how good is their track record (ii) do I want to be covering this sector for a long time. Your PM will dictate everything, from pay to culture. Everything else is marginal and does not matter. Saying you work at Citadel / MLP means next to nothing within MMs. yes there are meaningful differences as you get more senior (ie who has stricter limits, etc) but thats not relevant to you now."
