[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP doesn't like her sister, BIL or the nephew. I can't imagine not wanting to help any of my nieces or nephews, and they aren't all rock stars.[/quote]

I think the disconnect here is a lack of awareness in how difficult it is to get a Wall Street analyst job. Students grind for four years, have one to three summer internships in finance, perfect grades, attend a target university, leadership in selective student orgs, training on Bloomberg terminal and Excel, and strong references. The first year pay can be over $150,000 after bonus. It’s up there with getting into U.S. medical school or a top law school. If a college senior has basically none of the qualifications, whoever vouches for the kid so he can cut everyone who actually worked their butt off is sticking their neck out.

It is very easy to type you’d stick your neck out or create friction in your marriage to make a spouse help in-laws on a forum.[/quote]

There's no one here who doesn't know what a finance bro does, OP.  You seem the most confused of everyone.  Your husband (NOT YOU) can help your nephew in infinity ways before you get to "hand him a job he doesn't deserve."  He can review his resume, he can have a call with him where they discuss what his ultimate goals are and potential career paths, he can recommend internships, jobs and/or employers that would be a good fit for what he is qualified to do now and still leave the path open to what he wants in 5-10 years.  But you are so embarrassed to be the poor wife who married in that you're acting like everyone who says "Larlo is starting to think about what he wants to do after college, and he's always admired Jimmy's firm" is expecting a job to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Your DH will navigate this much, much more skillfully (and likely with more empathy) than you are displaying here.  Let him do that.[/quote]

But you don't understand, these kids have training on Bloomberg terminals! [/quote]
