Do the connections you make within your career aid or hurt your game?

How many hours do you work within a week?

Post: #2

I work as many hours as I can...anywhere from 50 to 95 hours a week. I would work more if I could, haha.

Work connections help my game. Finance is an industry with a lot of guys who can teach you how to live well and talk to people effectively.

More importantly: my career is the centerpiece of my life, and connections will help me advance faster. Doesn't matter if they affect my game.

Studying engineering. Normal week I'm too pissed/tired to go out. Although I spent a solid 3-4 years learning game.

Almost wish I had never chosen this major. Career prospects look like 40+ years in a desk then you die. Not fun. Currently looking at other options every day.

I was a consultant before.
My game was much tighter.

Im a student now. Its not as tight...although getting girls is easier.

There is much to be said for being surrounded by a bunch of cool guys who are competitive and know how to live life as opposed to a bunch of overgrown kids who want to work at NGOs or get cushy management jobs

Personally career had a huge positive impact on my game. Closing a huge deal and going out to tear the house down with other associates, or fucking up so bad you just have to go out and get in the chicks pants for your own validation is quite different from high fiving someone for earning brownie points from your marketing professor.

Ill probably have more lays in these two years as a student than I had in all 4 years as a consultant, but my game was never better than then.

I worked between 50 and 90 hours a week

Being in IT does not help.
I am surrounded by loser white knights who makes me cringe... I understand now why girls flee them.

Looking a way out in every waking moment.

Well... it was going good till it caught up with me a few years ago.

Don't dip your pen in the company ink.

Now career and game are separate.

The effect of the career on your mental health is the most important factor.
You can't cover up depression and exhaustion with 'game', a chick can read that off your face no matter how you try to hide it.
Career stress and reward has a huge bearing on your ability to get women. What the career is is not as important, although you'll always get points by saying 'I'm a surgeon' etc.

Almost. You will get a decade or two of retirement, then you will die. Depends on if your superannuation fund gets smashed by a stock market crash before you're due to retire. The look on the faces of those poor grey-haired bastards who were forced back to the desk said it all.
