☆ I'm a Gen Zer who went undercover for 3 weeks as a Gen Xer on TikTok – a lot of their jokes went over my head

Gen Z keeps it painfully realA lot of the time, Gen Z is the butt of its own jokes.

Access to the internet and widespread information pushed many to mature faster as Gen Z learned at a quicker rate than others. Now, at the end of my time on Gen X TikTok, I've learned a lot more about the generation that raised me and my millennial siblings.

The fact PE firms need to go back to the well to fill open seats should be a wake-up call. Click here to read more about how PE firms' early recruitment of junior bankers backfired.
