Overpaid Intern II
Second week is done. I've been to work every day, but the staffing is such that I've really only been busy for 3 days or so, and the rest I've had to find work for myself to do. I'm also beginning to suspect a major divide in how people are staffed, based on the fact that the three people who I know got this job via connections are all sort of not on harder deals. Such is life I guess. I'm still learning a lot, although the work I'm doing is sort of lawyer's work rather than banker's work. Not entirely a bad thing that, but not a great one either. IN any case, we'll have to see how many offers they give out this year. Its odd that I've shifted so quickly in my thinking but if they made me an offer I'd find it very hard to say no.
We'll see. 8 more weeks of this extended interview first.
Went out to a bar, and then to smoke shisha, and then to a karaoke place last night. This is a very Asian experience. I'm not sure how much more of it I can survive. On the plus side, one of the full time analysts took us out last night, which was good. Otherwise it'd have been way more expensive. We opened a bottle of champagne and a bottle of tequila at the bar, which means that every time we've gone out hard we've had at least two bottles. Its a dangerous precedent, but I guess its part of the lifestyle we lead.
I'm going in on a Sunday again. I intend for it to be my boast that I missed not a single day of work (weekends and public holidays included) this whole summer. That way when I go back to school, everything will seem super easy and chill (which it is). I'm looking forward to having free time again, but if you don't have any you stop expecting it. So thats ok.
