that's the fundamental flaw of the certification system; no one who is legit would be willing to give out his/her email address, but you'll easily find college kids summering in ML PWM optimizing their transient email address to appear more authoritative on an anonymous msg board.
Disagree. Back when I was
by Mis IndDisagree. Back when I was working in banking, though it was before the days of certification, I would have given my email address to the site mods. Not to everybody on the site, of course, but to trusted individuals. In fact, I think I did for some reason. I think there are a lot of legit people here who aren't that paranoid. Certainly I'm not anymore, since I'm living in the Bay Area and no longer banking. But I think the certification system is crucial. Before it, real bankers were being driven away just because they didn't want to have to prove themselves on a daily basis. And there were issues like, "No, he made a typo in that second paragraph. A real banker never makes a typo because they're so insanely detail-oriented. He's faking." I mean, come on.
I agree that 388 is the address that should go on the letter. I think HR was on the 34th floor a few years back, may still be. Or it may not: caveat emptor.

Patrick? Anybody? How does this happen? How can you have a system where ppl are supposed to be certified (and in the industry), yet you guys are approving kids still in school writing fucking cover letters? Not only do I doubt the legitimacy of most of the advice on this board, but now I've got to question certified users as well?
human error

nystateofmind,
that is a good question. probably what happened is he e-mailed me while working as a Summer Analyst from his work account and I was too busy to go through and read all his posts.
I was/am very careful for all of my certification and I would challenge you to find 1 other certified user that is not a professional. I have had about 20 other summer analysts try this before and I haven't certified any of them. Unfortunately the process is human and I must have missed this one so for that I apologize.
Anyways, I have removed his certification. You can check in the Certified User Group but I am confident that this is the only such screw up. I will take an hour now to go through each Certified User myself right now and make sure none of them are like Madcatz.

and for clarification I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT GIVES OUT CERTIFICATION, not any of the mods. b2, interesting how you are always on here if there are only 19-20 year old college kids...
i made a mistake certifying madcatz. the mistake has been fixed.

by b2and I didn't even advertly go and uncover this... I knew his age from his past posts and coincidentally saw that he was certified. I wonder how many other 12 year old certified users I could find if I actually put in the effort...
