This is his brother - the guy with the stutter. If you did well in finance theres absolutely no reason not to apply to these jobs. Your speech should not be a main driver of your career as youre capable to do whatever you want. The issue you’ll run into is if youre shy about speaking up. If you dont mind having people hear you stutter in an open floor then you’ll be perfect! I was working in operations in SLC as a foreign exchange drafter (basically reviewing trades that sales and traders had made and making sure the legal language was perfect). So if youre looking to go into sales/trading then you’ll be doing more speaking than i was. What i will say is you should be open about your speech problem and be prepared to hear idiots bash on you if they think youre not around. I heard some folks a row or two away from me in interest rates talking shit about another stutterer they had apparently hired a while back. I brought it up to my manager but as far as i could tell there was no repercussions for them. Investment banking is a toxic culture often. But if youre good at your job you’ll do just fine. If youre having a real bad day they had a instant messaging system there which people would use to communicate and you could often ping coworkers and ask a question rather than speaking. But obviously you’ll need to present and speak up in meetings too. Its difficult but life was always going to be harder for a person with a stutter - theres no way around that. Ultimately i’m glad i had the experience but its an unforgiving culture. I’d say apply anyways and reevaluate it when you get the offer letter. The interview experience is worth going through it alone - they arent easy interviews. But go for it. Worse thing that happens is you hate it and anyone will understand if you quit/are fired after 6 months and you say the culture didnt fit you. Any working professional knows that investment banking culture is toxic. Best of luck. Feel free to send me a private message u/klabboy109
