@BallerVP,

A friendly reminder from a strategy consultant who is “just not at [your] level” that:

1. Your clients call me when they need someone to think strategically about an opportunity and to fix your crap models.

2. Your MD’s boss’s boss calls me when he needs input on how to run your business, or just how many of you he needs to RIF, and

3. Now your girlfriend calls me when she wants my junk (and dinner if I’m feeling hospitable).

You can give me a call if you want advice on a new career path. In the mean time, have fun ballin’ on the sidelines.

“That’s the beauty of being a financier…We…could demolish any of those neckbeard math majors in computing cash flows…”

Computing cash flows? You mean using an excel template to perform basic arithmetic? How impressive!

Think about it: NYC is one of the most liberal places on Earth, you’ll find so much diversity in every aspect (from the richest to the poorest zip codes in the country).

Dubai doesn’t even know what it is yet. It’s still a work in progress.

The country is Islamic? So what? If you can tolerate constant arid heat, not wearing shorts in public, and are not viewed as lower class based on race, you’ll do fine. Just don’t do anything overtly offensive to the religion (e.g. drunken sex on a beach).

Try it out! It could be better than NYC (especially as time goes on and layoffs increase).

@douche - I want to stab you to death, and then play around with your blood.

@Baller VP

A brief facts from a strategy consultant who is “not at [your] level”…

1. Your clients call me when they need someone to cut the B.S., determine the real strategic fit/value of an acquisition, and fix your crappy model

2. Your boss’s boss’s boss calls me when he needs someone to determine how to repair your firm, and just how many of *you* he needs to lay off, and now

3. Your girlfriend calls me when she wants a nice dinner and my junk

Have fun ballin’ on the sidelines, punk
