Best way to prepare for the job? What roles there are in S&T? Hardest part of the job? Some questions to show interest. GS just rated Goog has a buy at 670 or so, doesd the S&T group recommond this or no? Whats something they didnt knoe about S&T before starting that they know now? etc.

 

i know about goog, but today news came out or so that GS is recommending it as a buy saying it will go to 670 or so. does S&T so the buy/sell recs?

 

what are the most challenging and exciting parts of your job

tell me how you got to where you are today

whats something you know now that you wish you knew when you were my age

do you have any advice for me

people like to hear themselves talk, ask them questions that they can talk forever on

I would be careful on the technical questions. You never want to ask a question that, by you not asking correctly or the employee not knowing, would put the GS employee in an uncomfortable situation. You would come across, potentially, as a dick and the employee as an idiot.

Example: I spoke to a class at my alma mater and a kid asked me a totally theoretical question deep in the pages of an options theory book. Hell, I asked people who have been trading for 20 years and they gave a blank look equivalent to what I gave the class. I knew he dug out some question that he though would make him look informed and intelligent. Once I explained why it was stupid, as I said, he looked a bit like a dick and it pissed me off that this punk kid would try to show me up.
