Ida's Dream Car and Moving Up to Hedge Fund Sales

• 23:20Working in a sales office when no one has money is the worst because the people there are destitute and have had their dignity completely robbed.
• 24:10Ida's dream was to make enough money to buy a car so she wouldn't have to take the bus to work—a commute that took an hour and a half for a nine-minute drive.
• 24:43Tim got promoted from setting appointments to actually selling copiers, then moved into hedge fund sales on Park Avenue.
• 25:00He would walk into hedge funds to pitch them while wearing a jacket with bird shit on it that his dad found in a hurricane.
• 25:16A truly gangster office on Park Avenue had 8,000 square feet with just two lawyers, one secretary, and barely any staff—that's how you know they're legit.
• 25:35Tim didn't have money for nicer clothes and was burning the candle at both ends doing comedy open mics every night while working sales.
• 25:58His manager promoted him because he was really good on the phone and they wanted him to become a real salesman instead of just an appointment setter.
• 26:15These copier sales guys were suburban hustlers who worked their way into the middle class—one got a Lexus—but nobody respects copier salesmen and there will never be a Wolf of Wall Street about them.
• 26:58His boss Al from Long Island kept naming sports teams during the interview, which Tim realized was him trying to figure out if Tim was gay.
• 27:27Tim didn't move to New York City to become a copier salesman, so he eventually left the job.
