IB culture in Paris

Hi guys,


New user here, international student in a top tier French Business School and soon to be in the market.

As I am not French, I do not have particular attachs to Paris. Even though I really like the city I do not bother trying other financial places like London, Frankfurt or even the US.I would really like having your thoughts on being a banker in Paris, culture-wise for example is it common to go out to clubs or have fun with colleagues, workplace politics,  pay and also future career perspectives. Also curious about your opinion about life in Paris in general.

Cheers

 

You better start learning some french soon, fiston.

Jokes aside, french culture is notoriously though towards non-french speakers. Hope your programme is Grande Ecole otherwise you will basically be considered a subhuman.

 

Can relate lol, fortunately I am in PGE but people here really aint making any efforts to sympathize with international students, they're stuck in their "entre-soi". I hoped banks would have international people and thus I would be able to connect with them. Will be a bit complicated if they're all frenchies in there
