This story happened somewhat of a year ago – it is a little bit longer (roughly three pages – the fun starts at the hashtags). I’m not a native English speaker, so I am happy about any comments.
Back then, I was a senior associate in a management consulting company. The kind of company, where everything was just second to none. The people, the offices, the hotels, the travel, the invoices sent to clients etc. I don’t try to brag, I just want to give you the feeling what it was back then. The company advised mostly in the sphere of mergers and acquisition (so if you read American Psycho, you get a hint of the typical character of my colleagues). We worked long hours, mostly leaving the office past midnight and start again the next day around eight. Most of my peers were around 25, some younger, some older, I was 25 back then. We all had an excellent education, expensive clothes and were mainly driven by our career and the money we earned.
