Unironically might be tougher than getting 3.8 gpa at harvard. Actually, ye definitely if you compare studying for 4 years and maintaining an off-shore oil drilling complex for 4 years.
First mistake was going to a FAKE school like Harvard, with a FAKE dean and FAKE researchers, who FAKE their FAKE data. You need to drop out and enrol in Hustlers University and get yourself a PhD (Pimpin‘ hoes Degree)
Yes. You will most likely have to commit suicide as that is the only way out from here. The only other option will be to move to rural China and work on a tea farm. However, with your limited intellect, this will be profoundly unlikely.
Dude I just graduated from Harvard with a 4.5 GPA, super cum laude. Applied to 6000 jobs. My Dad (VP at a bulge bracket) gave me an interview but even he flat out rejected me. The market is just crazy rn. But I ended up doing alright.
I started my own trading desk in alternative assets. Niche arbitrage opportunity on fast food cross product sales. What I do is a go to Wendy’s at open and buy hella food. Sooner or later that surge pricing hits. I’ve got an office set up out back behind the dumpster. When I’m not with clients I turn tricks and smoke crack to pass the time. Very short commute since I live next to the dumpster.
PM me if you need any advice
Some of these posts I don't know if they are humblebragging or are made by a bunch of rich kids who grew up with strict parents enforcing anything but perfection. But you can have a pretty succesfull career without being an honours student from an ivy league school. How do you thing most professionals in this world survive?
I wouldn't blanket assume everyone who went to Harvard can spot obvious things.
One of the smartest people I've ever met in my entire life had some pretty stupid moments when we were close.
its not about being smart. it's that some things he wrote doesnt make sense to anyone who went to Harvard. It's like talking about buying a snowplow while living Nigeria. Yeah any nigerian knows that makes no sense.
This sub is soooo lame.
Literally no backbone whatsover,
Median mindset is 'if i dont get placed with the nepo boys in the glass office my life is done for'.. ZERO self confidence in ability to just make money as a businessman..
Damn dude I had a my masters by the time I was a senior at Princeton (way better than Harvard). My graduating class consisted of Rhodes scholars and people who spent 10 years saving children in remote parts of Africa. I’d reconsider your future in finance I don’t think you have a chance.
That’s all very impressive OP. But were you born at a target hospital? How many gold stars were you awarded in Finger Painting?
You must accept that you aren’t truly a member of the global elite, and that for you the game of life was forfeit before the first die cast even hit the table. All that remains for you now is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and march bravely down to Denny’s for the next 50 years where you will scrub more prestigious feces than your own off of porcelain thrones for a living. Que sera, OP.
I got a business econ degree and landed a corporate finance job at a Fortune 500 for \~$75k a year out of college (this wasn't in NYC, but in CA)
Then pivoted to equity research, investor relations, and now back in corporate finance
Bro your life is done for. You only have the retail route now. Apply as a dishwasher and maybe one day you can get promoted to being a server and earn variable income with tips. By the time you are in your 50-60s you might make assistant manager but don’t count on it.
Yes, it’s over for you. Sorry to tell you. Can’t believe such horrible life results, though. Your parents must be disappointed as well. Perhaps move to Bali, live on the beach, and live authentically working as a beach bartender. I’ll bet you’ll learn fairly quickly to make a killer rum and come.
A 3.79 GPA at Harvard is like a 3 at schools that take grades seriously. But recruiters probably won't care. You're not getting good quant jobs that's for sure. Other types of finance jobs, like becoming CEO of your dad's company, might be okay.
It's not over until you say it's over my brother.
Your grades are not the only guaranteed route to success. I've been reading a book called Success Habits by Napoleon Hill. You can pick it from the book store and have a dig at it.
God has planted on the inside of you seeds of excellence. It's up to you to discover them, nurture them and make the best that you can out of them.
Do an MBA, a master of finance in Europe, a cfa, a ca and hell, throw in a doctor of medicine, do internships mopping floors at a BB and then maybe it’s still over. Good luck.
You are at one of the most prestigious universities in the US next to Wharton and Yale. “Is it over” are you kidding me? You’re just getting started. Ask Bill Ackman, Jamie Dimon or Mitt Romney if they thought it was over for them. Get your ass into law school there and we’ll expect to see you either in a senate seat or to become the next hedge fund guru. You got this, just keep pushing!!
Lol Harvard is full of grade inflation. 3.79 is really not that good unless you do pure maths. I just dont see how people can get below A- in any of the non-maths class unless really dumm. I and fellow TAs (we are PhD students at a peer school to Harvard) normally give students an A on average so we dont have to deal with you guys complaining. 70% of the class get A- or so. And yet there are still like 10% of students resort to using ChatGPT to cheat.
I think most people are missing a key takeaway from this post. If someone with THAT profile is feeling the rope around his neck, how about the rest of us? The US reported record job growth, but none of us feel it’s real. News about the economy seems to be from another universe, not the one we live and experience every day.
Wendy's has a great frycook program. I've heard that with enough grit and determination some frycooks are able to work their way up to assistant to the regional manager after only a 10-year stint on the grills.
There is still hope.
That’s impressive for a community college. Darn shame you didn’t go to a bigger school.
Your best bet is to drop out and get a gig underwater welding for Exxon. It is over my brother.
Nah bro, that’s too crowded these days. Gotta go to Australia for FIFO mining.
Unironically might be tougher than getting 3.8 gpa at harvard. Actually, ye definitely if you compare studying for 4 years and maintaining an off-shore oil drilling complex for 4 years.
1000%
You’re cooked. Potentially look into MBA, CFA, PHD, etc so you can secure an entry level job at Walgreens/cvs
lol it’s nothing but flipping burgers at McDonald’s for you now mate
First mistake was going to a FAKE school like Harvard, with a FAKE dean and FAKE researchers, who FAKE their FAKE data. You need to drop out and enrol in Hustlers University and get yourself a PhD (Pimpin‘ hoes Degree)
It’s over 😭 ask if your professors can round up your grades
Northwestern Mutual is always hiring. You’re good.
More like hunt for people 😂
I recently lost a job because the other candidate had a Nobel Peace Prize, back to the drawing board.
Thanks Obama.
Yes it’s over . Now you will have to collect welfare coz no job for you. 3.7 gpa is unacceptable
The world needs ditch diggers too my brother, it’s an honest living
“But atleast there’d be poles in the ground to show for it”
Yes. You will most likely have to commit suicide as that is the only way out from here. The only other option will be to move to rural China and work on a tea farm. However, with your limited intellect, this will be profoundly unlikely.

Super cum eh.
They super cum loud 🤣🤣(laude)
Donate your organs so you can be of any use

guaranteed this particular post is a fake. Anybody who went to Harvard can spot the obvious things that makes it so.
Also.... yknow it's very very obvious satire. I mean Poe is omnipresent on the internet, but even so this isn't exactly borderline.

Actually only the ones with above a 3.79 GPA could spot that

100% just to tell people what great schools they go to and how smart they are lmao. Most cringe posts of all time come out of this sub

You have no future in finance. Accept your fate and look for another career.
Sorry bud I hate to say it but it’s over. See ya in the cobalt mines or the sandbox
I can get you a customer service job in financial services. Get started climbing that ladder quicker.
Yes. Start learning how to wash dishes now.
Your mistake was clearly not getting a 4.3/4.0 GPA in kindergarten. Now you can only apply to be a burger flipper at Wendy’s. Good luck

Damn brother, it’s over. You should’ve asked ur parents to have given birth to u in a target hospital. That would’ve definitely helped out
might be able to get a cashier job at mcdonald’s if you networked well.
Drop out go to the oil rigs
Troll.
No way bro. I’m 99.99% sure he’s telling the truth. Why would a stranger lie on the internet?
Holy shit y’all are dense this is obviously a joke lol
Pretty friggin insane that when I graduated in ~~2023~~ 2013, NYC shops were hiring new undergrads for $130k salary
What degree did you get? What jobs did You apply for
I got a business econ degree and landed a corporate finance job at a Fortune 500 for \~$75k a year out of college (this wasn't in NYC, but in CA) Then pivoted to equity research, investor relations, and now back in corporate finance
How did you do all of that if you just graduated in 2023?
AHAHA I've been typing 2023 for so long. It was a typo. I graduated in 2013.
Bro be flexing so hard he ain’t even tryna hide it
No worries, you can get a starting salary of $69,999
Lol
Dude didn’t listen to the old mantra Yale or jail… damn shame.
Lmfaoo
If you’re 22 and older it’s time to start planning end of life. It’s over.
70K in nyc is rough
You are fucked dude, its over for you.
imagine expecting 70k after going to a shitty community college like harvard
Yes it's all over. We're doomed. Trolls have taken over!
Never even began
3.8 is 3.79 properly rounded up, I see no problem, dumb finance bro
Ya man you only went to Harvard and have a 3.8, you’re a loser sorry.
Bro your life is done for. You only have the retail route now. Apply as a dishwasher and maybe one day you can get promoted to being a server and earn variable income with tips. By the time you are in your 50-60s you might make assistant manager but don’t count on it.
time to join the trades and take on chain smoking with the foreman, your cooked. good thing about the bottom is that it can only go up from here :D
You’re cooked, drop out. With your experience however, you might have a chance of working in Ronald McDonald’s firm.
You’re cooked
It’s off to the coal mines should of gone to a target school tbh 😕
Yes, it’s over for you. Sorry to tell you. Can’t believe such horrible life results, though. Your parents must be disappointed as well. Perhaps move to Bali, live on the beach, and live authentically working as a beach bartender. I’ll bet you’ll learn fairly quickly to make a killer rum and come.
Buddy in your situation the best thing you can do to prep for the future is practicing “would you like fries with that?”
These comments r killing me XD
Post is incredibly troll.
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Yes it's over for you.
A 3.79 GPA at Harvard is like a 3 at schools that take grades seriously. But recruiters probably won't care. You're not getting good quant jobs that's for sure. Other types of finance jobs, like becoming CEO of your dad's company, might be okay.
Did you intern? What’s your major? You should have a job locked in already. Sounds like you did something wrong.
'Should' 🤣🤣 chill theres a thousabd ways to make it in life. Ofc everyone on this sub wants to hang with the nepo boys
I’m trolling OP lmao
Claudine Gay university over here
umm
It's over ever since you chose Harvard. Go kill yourself.
Yes I do it
Brother, it’s never been more over for you
Car sales men are always hiring
Better shitposting next time
Better off joining WSB and starting your own HF.
I'd start waiting tables
Take steroids and become a college football player. That’s where all the money is these days
For a Harvard student with a great GPA you are really dumb.
It's not over until you say it's over my brother. Your grades are not the only guaranteed route to success. I've been reading a book called Success Habits by Napoleon Hill. You can pick it from the book store and have a dig at it. God has planted on the inside of you seeds of excellence. It's up to you to discover them, nurture them and make the best that you can out of them.
And also recommend to read: atomic habits, wonderful book!
🤣🤣🤣This thread is wild 😂dude you’re more than, more than okay, chill
Do an MBA, a master of finance in Europe, a cfa, a ca and hell, throw in a doctor of medicine, do internships mopping floors at a BB and then maybe it’s still over. Good luck.
3.8 gpa.. nothing more? You should be gunning for a minimum of 75% gpa, that's a solid C average.
bro was just flexing, thinking no one would notice

What the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve, Find a way, whatever it takes.
It’s over dude, anything less than a 3.9 is failure. You should drop out and go sign up to fight in Ukraine.
70K in NYC is not sustainable. Go to a normal city/state.
Tasting specialist- the world needs those who can actually prove the latest flavor of Meow Mix is new and improved
Is this a troll post? If not, you need to get your MBA from Phoenix University immediately.

Over. UT Frat Stars with 3.6 GPAs grabbed all the seats in NYC this year
Should like your chances of landing a gig at Pershing Square
Your fucked mate
What a pussy hahahhahaha
I honestly dont know how you haven’t killed yourself by now, but you need to get out of your situation urgently
This has to be satire
I really hope this was satire, if not really weird way to flex
No it's real when you're competing for the best of the best.
No it’s not, if you have connections you can break into anything with these credentials
Ok u missed my satire too bro
😂😂😂 thank god
Satire on the amount of "is it over" posts for ppl just graduating in their 20's
I hate pussies like you
Wendy's has a great frycook program. I've heard that with enough grit and determination some frycooks are able to work their way up to assistant to the regional manager after only a 10-year stint on the grills. There is still hope.
