Is it possible to date an investment banker




















It's not like she will have time to really worry about other things just as you won't. AndyLouis -- Kicking off the nominations early. Obviously it isn't ideal, but it's an option. I personally would never date a girl working in finance. I've slept with a few before and for some reason or another we always end up talking about deals and EBITDA after sex, it feels really weird and I never end up calling them back.

I'm very serious. Don't start talking to me about gross margins of the consumer industry after sex or I won't ever call you again.

Hours are never a major issue in a relationship. The harder for you guys to take out the time to spend together, the more precious and efficient these hours will be. I think it's all about dating somebody who understands what your job entails and why you are doing it.

I've been dating my current girlfriend for a long time already so when I started working full time we already knew each other really well and all that good stuff. Helps that she wants to go to med school so she understands the whole idea of making sacrifices for your career. I think as long as you communicate well with whoever you're dating and take the extra time to hang out together it really makes things go more smoothly.

Like any relationship making sacrifices is necessary but especially as an analyst it's more important than ever. Sure going for a sit down dinner means I'll probably be in the office longer than I would have had I just gotten takeout, but taking the time to do small things like that together is crucial. Something that's often overlooked in these conversations I think is working together with your fellow junior team members when it comes to relationships.

Because we all know that the other guys will have our backs if we're ever the ones who are in the same position. For what it's worth I know some people who actually met their SOs while they were in banking. It's definitely possible, you just have to figure out if a you think a relationship is worth it and b if the other person is worth it.

Remember when I was in IB as a single guy who tried the dating game Dating can be done in IB but there has a understanding for all parties involved as to the time constraint that your job has on your life. At this point in my life, any relationship I could get myself into would crater anyways, regardless of banking hours. I'm dating a girl who works in MBB - she cancels on me more than I do on her!

Sometimes he gets to leave the office by 8pm. He calls and I feel I have to cut my program short because maybe we can spend an evening together, perhaps even go to a restaurant. When this happens I feel really stupid, leaving my friends and dropping everything for him.

The power balance in our relationship has shifted completely. He's under a lot of pressure. His parents have financial difficulties and he is helping them pay their debts. He is very religious and he doesn't drink. This is not making things easier for him at the bank.

In fact his parents have said that if he has to drink to get ahead at the bank, then this is okay. But he won't. Same dilemma with strip clubs. My position makes no sense, I know, but as long as we're not married, I'm okay if he has to go. But if we're married, then it's not acceptable.

So he will text me, asking: 'What's a good drink to buy an older man? What's a good drink to buy a girl my age? We were at a train station, he was so excited that he came running towards me and picked me up. People thought we were very strange, but we were just so excited — he had worked so hard and finally he had an offer.

The other day we were talking about a friend of his who is also in finance, but with much better hours. I pointed that out to him and he went: 'Oh no, he's with a shit bank, I don't want that. A little while ago we were having dinner and he got a message that he had made a mistake. This threw him off completely. He couldn't stop fidgeting, wouldn't listen to me. The rest of the evening he'd fret about work. When we plan something, he says 'But I may have to cancel'.

When we're out, there is always the chance of him getting called back into the office. He comes with terms and conditions. But he's going to have to change himself, to fit in.

Right now he cannot stand being told off by someone. That makes him feel like he died. He takes every rejection incredibly personally, even if it's a job application or something else to do with work. He'll obsess over what somebody said to him. You know, he tries really hard.

But I told him very seriously: look, I don't like your job. I didn't choose to be in this situation.
