hahaha dude your posts are always entertaining. sometimes TMI or gross, nonetheless very entertaining. I started off form the bottom and stil have long long ways to go as I sit here in mind numbing BO calcualting P/L and confirming margin calls all day as well as booking stuff. Well what can you do when one went to a hacksaw uni to play golf on a scholarhip hahahaha. it was free.
^ Keep hustlin son. Work hard, do you best, and things will work out. Keep up that single digit handicap too.
Can we get an update here? Some of us need to live vicariously through online message boards. The most recent girl I went out with is a cute (not hot, not dime) HR chick.
Not much for an update. I was fuggin busy at work and took a raincheck. She seemed disappointed. She seems like a pseudo prissy princess high maintenance diet containing cocain and iceberg lettuce red bottom heel high maintenance bitch. Her texts have anchored around what I do on ‘Wall Street’ and seem to constantly pry into my income. I’m not digging it. Shallow as a bird bath. But she was a tiger in the sack, maybe I’ll see her tomorrow or something. Tonight I’m going out with the boys and plan to raise some hell.
I have 2 interviews next week; one is with a big Japanese bank and the other is with a French IB. I am now concerned about my …bangs. I colored them purple-red with green highlights 5 weeks ago. My current boss and colleagues all like the style ! But after reading posts in the thread I myself find it somehow inappropriate to show up at an job interview with such the appearance. Is it likely that I would get a ding (in term of appearance) regardless I opt in a nice suit and have a good make up ? :(. I mean interviewers might kick out some candidates for no-name reasons like having silly bangs… I am seriously thinking to get the bangs back to their natural color. Japanese guys seem not like colorful stuffs.
P/s: My ex manager of my very first job once gave me some money and said " LakeHouse, could you please have your hair colored black or brown ? Your blonde hair was so shining under the ceiling lamps that my eyes couldn’t stand" . …OMG, I was like " what the …?"
^ Pics and we’ll be in a better position to give you advice.
I just read this thread. Love how it got totally hijacked. Also enjoy CvM stickin up for the little guy.
So instead of “work/life balance” would it have been better to ask “how often are you working weekends here?” - that kind of implies you expect to be working a ton.
I finally read this thread, and I’m happy that I did. I rarely audibly laugh at work, but I couldn’t help myself reading this thread. CvM is the man.
I usually interview actuaries and when I come to my curve ball questions, I ask them what a large business loss would mean to them. How would they feel? Freud would have been delighted. Extremely well trained candidates, which are caught by surprise to talk about their feelings. Wow.
Besides that: my job is at McDonalds if compared to Itera or CvM. I dont care; I am loving it.
To me, it sounds more like its pretty hard to convince a BSD. Thats tough, but if you want to surround yourself with that kind of people, thats what youll have to do. Its really the candidates problem.
Btw I have the impression that some of the guys that came from absolutely nothing end up overshooting. Itera, you come off as a bit too tense. You should get that girls number and giver her a call. Your paycheck is far bigger than CvM I am sure. The girl will laugh at all of your jokes and scream even louder; dont worry!
I actually came here to state that PhDs are hot commodities. Why? Think about it. I prefer a guy, who is sharp and can think through any complex issue, because he has been there and done that, for years. He has thought through so much crap, he will be able to figure things out. With the fast changing environment that we live in, I actually dont give as much weight to experience anymore. But thats just my humble opinion. Best,
IWP
I give a quick 10 minute exam of some extremely simple Level I type questions plus a few questions that are even easier. If they don’t get close to 100% it’s a no-go. It’s amazing how many people will outright lie on their resumes these days. I had one guy that claimed that he had worked in Equity Research… and his answer to Assets = Liabilities + _______ was “Sales”.
Black guys aren’t the only guys that like white girls with a bit more meat on them.
^Respect.
check out julius peppers new lady…oy vey
But black guys usually win out for these girls.
So, just back on topic, but would it be a red flag if I ask your receptionist to if I can use your bathroom before the interview?
^ I would try to avoid doing that and try to find a bathroom before getting to the interview. But if you have to go, you have to go.
No, not at all. I’ve been at 5 companies over the past decade, and I’ve always asked to use the bathroom before the actual interview every single time. you want to give yourself a last look over, wash your hands, and take a breather
Aye, it wouldn’t be a red flag to request to use the bathroom. Just be there early enough to make time for it.
Ok. Good. I’ve been interviewing all week and my bladder size is limited.
While I would also prefer this, apparently unlike in Seattle, New York doesn’t have a Sbux et al on every corner, and when there is one, it doesn’t have a bathroom. Seriously. Where do you guys take care of business outside of office/home?? It’s worse than France. Actually no but it’s close.
A modern gal like yourself should carry a GoGirl in your bag and pee anywhere, just like men do
