[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you manage to avoid “strivers” in college, would you really be able to avoid them in the workplace? People who are driven by status or social climbing naturally gravitate toward high-earning majors and careers. Isn’t it better to get used to this reality earlier on? I understand why people mock it, but honestly, these types of individuals are hard to avoid in the long run.[/quote] On my first day of work at a bulge bracket investment bank, my boss told me that working very late does not impress him and that he appreciates people that work smarter, not harder. I worked really hard for him but not to kiss his backside. So a striver would have failed miserably there. Several years later I worked for a different boss at a bulge bracket bank who wanted strivers. I worked hard because that is who I am, but I refused to play the striver game and left.[/quote]
