Bump. Anyone have pull at WSO? My registration is still pending…
Really? That’s strange. There are a ton of troll accounts that get approved every day.
I have an account I don’t use. Maybe you can just have that I don’t see myself going on there much anymore if at all.
I told you to read the fine print. Brothers are not welcomed.
^ Why don’t you pull a Nick Cannon and pretend to be white?
itera:
you should have stopped at “27 and no finance experience”. I’ve sat on the hiring side of the table for years, I’ve done AM, ER, IB. all your random bullcrap is just a lot of preaching. things will turn around in the future, down the line, having passion bullcrap. Don’t even get me started on the passion, I’ve heard passion so many times from so many hot-shots without anything to back it up, it makes me laugh.
If you want to see passion, here’s your passion:

now listen up, “breaking in” is best done fast. As you get older, your chances diminish at a rapid pace. People don’t hire 30 yr old analyst’s. They hire fresh grads out of school. The fact is, hiring is frozen at a ton of places, layoffs still happening all the time, industry is diminishing, and people are leaving wall street. No one is doubting it will come back someday.
But there’s always a new cycle of people that want in (far more than available jobs). And even if you were willing to get paid at the bottom of the barrel (as new grads get), people still may not hire you for a ton of other reasons. The only thing I’ll give you is finance will over hire and over fire, but getting into finance, is a lot of luck in timing you can’t control.
If you want to pursue a passion in life, go right ahead. No one’s stopping you. But a wise person would assess their realistic chances. I have a passion too, winning the $500M lottery, does that mean I should gamble all my life savings and every dollar I make on tickets?
you tell people ”Opportunities are plentiful”, ”more opportunities than ever” That’s total BS. 2006 was plentiful. Each bulge bracket had 30-40 openings at target schools. Now it’s 2 or 3 per bank, IF that. does that sound plentiful now?
I just looked at this resume and I don’t know what to make of it

Is this supposed to be an example of misguided “passion”, an example of a horribly arrogant and self-inflated resume, or an example of a winning resume?
