🔥 HARD TRUTH: Why Tech Bros Can't Party (and Finance Chads Stay Winning)
Let's be real, tech "bros" aren't bros at all. While they're stacking FAANG salaries and living in their Rs.50k/month mathbox apartment in Bangalore, finance guys are ACTUALLY living the high life.
Here's the brutal reality:
Virgin Tech Guy
- Makes Rs. 20L but spends Friday nights debugging code and arguing about Vim vs Emacs
- Thinks "networking" means TCP/IP protocols
- Splurges on a EV scooter that catches fire but can't hold eye contact.
- "Team building" = awkward board game nights with lukewarm Red Bull.
- Dating strategy = swiping right on algorithms
Chad Finance Bro
- Crushes deals by day, crushes bottles by night
- Has actual social skills from years of client dinners
- Knows every bouncer from Mirage to Kitty Ko.
- Summer in Kasol, winter in Goa.
- Genuine brotherhood from suffering through analyst years together.
The truth? Tech money is NEW money. These guys grew up optimizing Minecraft servers while finance bros were learning how to command rooms at prep school. You can't code your way into social dominance, that stuff gets built over GENERATIONS.
Finance has mastered the art of turning money into STATUS. Meanwhile, tech guys think wearing a Patagonia vest makes them part of the elite. News flash: your Series B funding means nothing when you're standing awkwardly at Toit clutching your craft beer.
Until tech bros learn there's no API for charisma, finance will keep eating their lunch in the social and dating scenes.

Wow!!!! Really. Excellent writing. I mean while reading I realised how bad i am in expressing when compared to this. Genuinely great post great use of words. Literally here at GV i got so much to learn seriously.

heheheh you are so cute

Seriously you are very good. You got a follower !!

Not true at all! I can say how my tech bros are enjoying their life!
And you don’t need to have a large circle to enjoy at all. One good friend is more than enough to enjoy your drink.

Seems like the Tech guy cheated on you and now you are just venting the frustration after getting a beta Finance guy as a rebound..... Get well soon!!

Jesus, calm down dude

👍🏻 for your writing style, but not for the words. I absolutely believe tech guys party as hard as finance guys would. You just need to be skilled in what you do and there's no turning back. One who dares gets to become the elite club and the one who doesn't, wouldn't. Simple. Doesn't matter in what domain you work and how much salary you earn.
Beauty Lies in the eyes of the Beholder, so does the money, it lies in the pockets of the Daredevils.

You're romanticizing finance like it’s some elite club, but let’s be real—it’s not all private jets and champagne. Here’s what’s missing:
-
Crippling Stress and Fragile Status: Finance isn’t glamorous—it’s a pressure cooker. Constant client demands, the looming risk of a bad deal tanking careers, and the “work hard, play hard” facade. That’s why so many finance bros crash hard into addictions, chasing relief. Status? It’s as fragile as the next quarterly report. The moment their deals go south, so does the “alpha” persona they wear like armor.
-
Hollow Connections and Superficial Status: Finance relationships are often paper-thin, built on competition and “what can you do for me?” It’s networking by necessity, not choice. In tech, bonds are based on real shared goals and creative passion, not status climbing. Finance bros aren’t fooling anyone—they’ve just perfected the art of pretending to like each other while secretly gunning for the next guy’s seat.
-
Inner Fulfillment vs. Validation Addiction: Tech bros don’t need a crowd to feel accomplished. They’re fulfilled by building, creating, and problem-solving. Finance? It’s all about external validation—chasing status symbols and public image. When that status slips, the emptiness hits hard. A high from closing a deal can’t replace genuine purpose. It’s not tech bros with the issues; it’s finance bros constantly in need of an ego boost from the world around them.
-
Balance is the Real Power Move: A well-rounded tech guy can learn the social game and build real, lasting confidence. But a finance bro learning genuine inner contentment? That’s rare. You don’t see tech pros sacrificing peace for status or working themselves to exhaustion for validation. Real success isn’t selling your soul for status—it’s balance. Being fulfilled without needing to buy the “right” clothes or be seen at the “right” places is real freedom.
So before you crown finance bros the kings of charisma, take a closer look. Real confidence doesn’t come from expensive dinners or knowing club bouncers—it comes from building a life you actually want to live, one that doesn’t rely on flaunting wealth or status to feel secure.
Extra Brutal Points:
Future-Proof Skills: Tech is the future. While finance can be replaced by tech, tech skills are only growing in demand and relevance. Adaptability is strength, and tech embodies it.
Real-World Impact: Tech isn’t about making a quick buck. It’s about solving problems with real impact, from sustainability to healthcare. Finance is just reshuffling the same wealth among the same people, with no real legacy to leave behind.
Freedom to Innovate: Tech allows creativity and freedom; finance is shackled
