Dealing with agencies will be the death of me

@bradchattergoon @adamislucky I think you need to have a more optimistic take on life in North America, your tweets & way of seeing life are quite…. weird? give off doomer vibes. This is probably the only place where agency and ambition can take you as far as someone born with wealthy parents over 20-25yrs

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon Correction: My parents never sought to invest beyond what was necessary (private school + expensive sports). However, they did house & feed me + gave me love & everything else a kid requires…

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon Being in North America is the best gift an ambitious kid can have. You can find the resources to do whatever you desire by just trying / asking enough. My parents never sought to invest in my education or extracurriculars. I started a video game rewards website to get enough $

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon For the rest, we have to find out through X, Discord, and forums like Wall Street Oasis

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon I agree with you on the parental guidance part btw. What I’ll say is that the Asian community is extremely strong in that regard. They have WeChat groupchats for literally everything ambition-related for their kid. It’s sad we (other cultures) don’t have that too

@bradchattergoon most people aren’t strivers

@bradchattergoon Middle class / poor immigrant tiger parents *

Middle class in Quebec is like $70k USD yearly after-tax household income

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon Kids who grew up with immigrant tiger parents who wanted them to be 1000x better than them. It’s a cut-throat school because everyone knows they only have 3-4 years of eligibility for upward mobility or they’ll end up like their parents so they strive for greatness

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon Np!

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon + early 20s * idk about mid-20s but I’m guessing chances decrease as you age

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon FYI, I was the only (and first) first-year private equity intern at a major fund in Canada + got an offer at Goldman Sachs (London) for my sophomore year, my freshman year and it 100% was not nepotism. If you just cold email enough in late teens, you literally cannot end up poor

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon It’s a striver school 100%. Rich people in Quebec send their kids to Andover, St Paul’s, Choate, Groton, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, Phillips Exeter, etc. to not have to go through CEGEP.

BTW students are 19 when graduating. CEGEP is 12th + 13th grade

[Sakina @sakinanerd]

@bradchattergoon I went to Marianopolis (same CEGEP she went to), and let me tell you that Morgan Stanley’s Montreal office has a program ONLY for pre-university students in the technology team. This isn’t out of the norm. She will be joined by ~5 other pre-university students.

SF is what happens when everyone who did all the work on group projects in college finally finds each other

@aadityasubedi_ @stevejang Congrats!
