In the finance casino, the VC guys are at the roulette table and the PE guys are playing poker. The quants are card counting at blackjack. The banks are giving everyone credit and the special sits guys are in the back room waiting to break peoples legs and take their chips.
@endowment_eddie You can have camaraderie without drinking. You just have such an underdeveloped sense of team coordination that you have to rely on being hammered to feel anything
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware.
I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
