Encouragement for Slaves

13 May 2008 – The Prince’s co-workers over his summer analyst stint use to look at the building where we worked and refer to it affectionately as the slave box.  Such is the life of a junior investment banker.  A few of the Prince’s friends turned him on to this organization called The Lattice Group.  Basically, the group covers work/life balance issues with a focus on young professionals in the workplace.  While most of the ideas are laughable when perceived by a junior investment banker it is a good source of dreams of what your life could look like after banking.  Probably more useful once you make the jump to private equity or a hedge fund and try to balance a job with life.  For now your life is work.  The group is interesting to the Prince and does have some interesting interviews with hot-shot professionals that have work-life conflicts work.
