[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guy should stayed in federal service

I can’t imagine having a career as tier 1 operator and then going to check excel cells and PowerPoint fonts for 120 hrs a week at a second tier bank on a deal advising a third tier bank (TD) acquiring a REGIONAL BANK

If he wanted to leave the military so bad, 
He could’ve easily shifted to getting on staff on the hill, then used that to jump to lobbying — or could done high value protective detail which would pay a lot more per hour than BofA — or gone to hks/sais and then join federal service and then job hop to interesting roles…

…I don’t get why he picked IB!

You sound like you have no clue at all about the military.  Or much of anything.[/quote]

I know way more ex mil is found on the hill and in this town lobbying or in other federal agencies focused on nat sec or at contractors like constellis than in IB

The finance portion of my post is one I know better and a 35 year old associate is RARE.

Money center banks hire ex mil officers for general management leadership development tracks with the view that they end up running product/business units.

It is uncommon to have them join ib and def not asset management / trading at age 35

The military guys that do are ones who finish an m7 mba in their late 20s

BofA should’ve never put him in that role

And secondly he should’ve never looked at IB

The lobbyists who are successful are former officers lobbying their old academy classmates and their old friends. You are much better positioned to be a lobbyist if you have worked in procurement or testing than if you were a green beret. [/quote]
