Confessions of an Investment Banker

Investment Banker interview

What do you do?

As a banker on the internet team, I get to work with the top brass at every possible website you can think of. Whenever you hear “xyz dot com is going to merge with abc”, you can bet that I’m involved.

Trying to mold them into your ideal version is not only disrespectful but ultimately futile. It breeds resentment, fuels power struggles, and erodes the foundation of trust and acceptance that healthy relationships need.

Why Raising Your Voice is a Sign of Weakness During an Argument

We’ve all been there. The conversation escalates, voices rise, and suddenly a calm discussion turns into a shouting match. While raising your voice might feel powerful in the moment, it often has the opposite effect, undermining your argument and making you appear weaker.
