…and spend most of their time socializing with clients.

I would beat myself to death with my own golf club if I had to do even a week of this crap. Ugh.

Me too. Give me my home research setup in my study with a cup of coffee and I’m 100x more satisfied than doing the sales thing. Not that I don’t mind the occasional round of golf or gathering. But I work for an ex-sales person and I can’t understand how they live their life with so much nonsense on the go. It’s like a lifestyle that doesn’t end.

^ I feel the same way. I got out of sales to go into finance but it seems like most of the people who make the most money in finance are salesman! oh well…

I think the most satisfying job would be to be a famous BSD short seller like Einhorn. When you talk people listen and when you drop the company name, the stock tanks. But I’m considered a narcissist by some peoples’ standards so don’t mind me.

The most rewarding job is one that makes direct investment decisions with appropriate incentives

For a job I like analyst. Sit in the back of the class, think, model some stuff, think, tell the decision makers what’s up, maybe they screw that up, maybe not, not my problem, I just analyze yo!

lolol
