partner at a $20 billion HF at NYC or president of country

Hi, i am just curious...just wanted your piece of mind..

who would you rather be.... partner at a high performing $20 billion HF at NYC or president of your native developing country ( say..any south american/asian country)

PS you are not an emotionlly charged patriotic junkie with a will to "make the difference". just right now you have these 2 choices...

 

we're being a little harsh, aren't we? maybe OP actually has these choices and has to choose one or the other.

Money Never Sleeps? More like Money Never SUCKS amirite?!?!?!?
 

this is dumb. But to answer the question, who the fuck would want to be president? You're working for a bunch of morons, you're probably not accomplishing anything, and you aren't making great money. Now, if we were talking dictator...

Who wouldn't want to be President of Nicaragua or other shit country? I would rob that ish blind. Mexico has been robbed by its President's of over $5bn in a single rule. Then, near the end of my rule, I would stage a coup and become a dictator. That's actually my exit op from investment banking.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
