1) It raises the question of "will you do this again?". High level banking jobs take several months to get fully onboard. They don't want to hire someone who is going to leave in 3-4 years. It's bad enough they have to compete with other firms, but competing with awesome beaches in foreign countries is tough to manage.


He wasn't totally clear, but he might have been at his current employer for 16 years. Would you not place value on that sort of loyalty?

2) the same reason I would never hire someone with a face tattoo. It's a chicken and egg scenario. Regardless of how bad the issue actually is, you chose to put yourself in it knowing the social stigma. It shows either very poor decision making or a rebellious attitude that does not work in the corporate world. I don't care how skilled you are, you're worthless if I can't trust you to not make terrible decisions.


This seems ridiculous.

3) you lose touch. Missing an entire year of deal flow means that you are way behind and could easily make some of the same mistakes that have recently occurred in your field. Even if you "keep up", it's not the same as being immersed in it.


My impression is that he would not stay in banking.

I don't necessarily blanket agree with hidden flasks first point. If indeed he has one of the big banking jobs that has a high level of burn out, there are plenty of places that move at a slower pace, with lower profit. There are people that understand that story and value the talent and experience, comes a price though.

I wholeheartedly agree with the second point and in no way do I find it ridiculous. In the corporate world, there is a perception of ability by how you carry yourself. It is why you can almost tell where someone works in the field by how they dress. A face tattoo cuts against most everything that clientèle is looking for.
