The eternal question of young people who want old people's money:
...What can I as an associate in private equity,
or others on here in general, do as young people to be taken more
seriously by older people in the field? Just looking for general tips....
From
Wall Street Oasis:
Get a face tattoo. If your unwilling to show that level of commitment
make sure that you are the most prepared guy at the table. Face tattoos
and preparedness are the two most important things if you want to be
taken seriously. This obviously entails reading all materials,
preparing relevant questions, and being prepared to answer anything
thrown your way. Also, become an expert and valuable member of the
team. You get taken seriously when you become indispensable. If none
of that works gator boots and a pimped out Gucci suit should help your
cause.
Seriously, I would recommend facial tats to any competitor, not just the young.
