I have passed by this i in Santa Monica dozens of ti here But here I ae funds in Los Angeles Heck, froe funds in the world
To be honest, I don’t know much about finance So, how did a 20-year old end up with a 50,000 a year job as an assistant account executive? Easy, I lied Or to be more specific, I subirl can do desperate things when she is one month away from eviction and homelessness
My days at the Peak Fund are filled with adoom I keep my head down and simply follow the orders of my direct superior, senior account executive Dan Greenland The 35 year old father of two doesn’t seem to suspect that I auy is on the phone all day with the fund’s investors So far, nment has been to score a lunchtime reservation atThe Grill On the Alleyin Beverly Hills
Nevertheless, I don’t kno er I can keep up this charade In fact, I plan to quit today Payday! The check should arrive on my desk this afternoon After that, I ah to cover my half of the rent for the next few months From there, I will think of another way to keep a roof over my head
Lunchtime is my favorite time at the Peak Fund All the i overpriced salads and steaks at the best spots in LA while we “little people” fend for ourselves at the local burrito shops Since the NYSE and NASDAQ stock exchanges close at 4PM Eastern Standard Time, we usually wait until 1PM local tirub
Right now, I am actually rather relaxed After all, today is my last day at the Peak Fund When the office clears for lunch, I head I outside and enjoy the lovely ocean breeze co off the Santa Monica coastline Nor calls But, what the hell, I’ll be out of there in a few hours Why not take a stroll down to the ocean?
The Peak Fund is located about three blocks from the Santa Monica pier In fact, you can see the ocean from the office I will certainly miss that view I check my iPhone and see it’s about ten minutes to two Time to head back
I walk back into the office and find the place half-euess everyone wants to get a jumpstart on the weekend Well, I will just have to wait Most people have their paychecks direct deposited into their bank accounts I opted for a paper check Hopefully, I won’t have to stick around for er
