[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a couple high earning high status male friends and privately they lament their choices and essentially have nothing outside of work to talk about.  Worlds tiniest violin.  They seem to be propelled through some sort of compulsion or all eggs in one basket mentality.[/quote]

They cannot multi task.

They must have apartment cleaners and order take out a lot.

Ultimately they are immature and developmentally behind. A far cry from the engineering dads we had who worked fulltime, coached and taught his kids, played on a softball or tennis league, and worked with power tools to fix the house or build cool things for the yard.

Today’s male college grad can’t even use a drill properly. And then they’ll lose the drill bit. [/quote]

Hard to climb to the top of the ladder if you don't go all in.  Maybe the engineering dads of yesteryear could pull it off working a same 40 work week.[/quote]

That’s false

I know lots of well-rounded married with kids men in private equity and VC.

They give a damn about more than work. And prove it all the time.

Plan wife’s bday trip to Montreal. Find lax programs for their son. Work their butts off, true. Read a hard cover a month. Go to music concerts a few times a year. Stay in shape.

And yes they’re very successful at work. Moreover in life. [/quote]

Successful private equity/VC men and women are some of the most able to get reasonable work-life balance. Their investments don’t require day-to-day involvement. Their boys are probably some of the best adjusted, because mom/dad’s involved, secure and kind.[/quote]
