The path to success is easy
Everyone makes it seem like the path to success is so difficult. For me, I didn't even break a sweat. I did my undergrad at Harvard, did 3 summer internships at KKR (Private equity SA) Morgan Stanley (IB SA) and GS (IB SA) while also being captain of the water polo team, either President or co-president of every notable finance club, Chairman of the golf club, and spent time hiking in the Appalachian mountains in between trips to Prague and Italy. I finished with a 3.97 (intentionally received one A- in my sophomore year to show I can deal with failure) and headed to GS in the TMT group full time. 1 year later I lateraled to Qatalyst (accelerated associate promote) and made $670k all-in as an associate 1. I then left for PE, spending 2 years at Blackrock. I reminisced on my time in academia, so I took the GMAT and received a 790, then was admitted into Wharton. After graduation, I did 2 years at McKinsey as a VP. At the end of the 2 years, I declined the promotion to partner status and several other MF PE offers and decided to open up my own firm, 'TPG'. I scaled it up to trillions in AUM and now have a net worth of ~€4.2 billion. I also am an adjunct professor at Yale and Cambridge (depending on what time of the year it is) teaching advanced philosophy and economics.

This isn't bottombuckethardo, he hates Harvard (He would've said he went to some WASPy/old money school like Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, USC or LSE), hates GS (he would've said he went to CVP/PJT) hates Qatalyst (he doesn't like Italians or Greeks), and would've said he went to Apollo (he thinks Apollo is better than KKR).
Looks like you have some competition then, BBH. Can your Oxford compete with Harvard?

This is the comment I was looking for.
Success is as easy as being born as the son of Jeff Bezos.
Or the ex-wife
