When Wall Street Nearly Destroyed My Soul
There's a particular kind of nausea that comes from looking in the mirror and despising what you see. Fresh out of Harvard Business School with an Oxford economics degree, I found myself at D.H. Blair Investment Banking-a firm later shut down amid 173 counts of stock fraud. My job? Dress up dubious deals while aggressive brokers in the "boiler room" sold them to unsuspecting investors. My Ivy League credentials provided a respectable veneer for operations that would eventually result in executives pleading guilty and paying $21 million to defrauded customers. How does someone supposedly intelligent end up in such a morally bankrupt place? The answer reveals something uncomfortable about elite education and human nature. We like to think credentials protect us from poor judgment, but they often do the opposite-creating overconfidence that blinds us to obvious red flags. My arrogance made me ignore warnings, convinced I was too smart to be fooled. This catastrophic choice became my greatest teacher, forcing me to confront a truth that would reshape everything: our environment changes us far more than we change it.
