I saw my upper class friends who now worked at those places like the I bank friends bro they worked sixteen hours a day. They would go to a club and do coke and then bang some hooker and then start working again on spreadsheets, he says. "They all had money but it's like there's this is this is horrible and I but I remember at the time like people were like thought I was crazy that I would turn down an offer from JP Morgan right or Goldman Sachs" He didn't get into UVA because his girlfriend talked him out of it which he has regretted ever since.
