Fixing Wall Street Culture with Wais Achikzad and Patrick Curtis

Dr. Jessica Kriegel is joined by Wais Achikzad, a senior consultant at Culture Partners with extensive experience in investment banking, and Patrick Curtis, founder and CEO of Wall Street Oasis. They discuss the accelerated timeline for investment banking recruitment out of college, the immense burnout caused by the "work hard, play hard" lifestyle, the attempts being made to fix all the problems in Wall Street's culture--and where the incentives might not line up for lasting change. They also discuss origins of Wall Street Oasis, evolving from a simple online community to a comprehensive resource for investment professionals, as well as some behind-the-scenes details about the life of investment professionals.
