Does anyone else have an awesome boss?
I've recently seen a spike in "Omg my boss is so dum" or "My boss keeps yelling at me i hate him what do??" type threads, probably due to the start of the summer intern season.
I can honestly say, I enjoy being around my boss. He's a very intense guy, but never acts irrationally or looks down upon his employees. I was originally offered a spot as an unpaid intern, but he called soon after and told me that I'd definitely be getting paid for my work. You don't get this very often, as a summer intern at a BB PWM shop.
So, does anyone else have a cool boss, or is it a rare occurrence?

My bosses are so chill. One is a medical doctor so theyre just taught to be all kind and shit.
One of my former bosses was one of the worst people I've ever known. An associate and MD that were traitors and liars who I pity for their lack of backbone and character.

You can tell if you meet
You can tell if you meet him/her in the interview whether they're cool or not. Two personal examples, one good and one bad/average-ish:
Good:
-At my BB PWM interview, I could immediately tell the boss was cool when he started asking me questions, smiling a lot, and telling me he'd try and teach as much as possible. He's been cool thus far and has made an attempt to talk to me and even giving us time to come into his office to chat. Seems like a nice guy on the personal level as well. Has a decent rep on top of it. A win-win all around.
Bad:
-This was for an intern position at a boutique for the semester during the school year. I was doing the interview with a Junior kid and he saw the boss walk by and he called him in. The boss walks in shakes my hand then blurts out, "Are you GREAT with Excel and I mean GREAT?" Naturally, I said yes and he just said ok and walked out. I could tell he was kind of weird and a little douchey. The whole semester, he made no attempt to talk to us, tried to speak like a Fortune 500 CEO when he was just the prez of a small boutique, and whenever an intern tried to go into his office and there were other co-workers in there, he would say "Not right now." On top of that, I found out he had a bad rep on Wall Street.

1st boss = good teacher, but
1st boss = good teacher, but after awhile, I realized it was too much micro-managing.
2nd boss = non micro-manager, but couldn't really teach me anything new/interesting after a year. However, he/she is a strong advocate for personal development, training, networking, etc.

First day my boss pulls me into his office and asks me if I have a fake ID because he wants me to have an awesome summer in NYC. Says there are three rules :
1) Don't show up drunk
2) If I am fucking an intern, at least treat her somewhat well
3) Don't make him look bad
Can be a prick at times, but that speech alone (bullet points verbatim) made me respect the hell out of him.

I once had a job, where the Director of the department asked me if I like to crush box during the interview. I frequently got drunk at work with my immediate boss and have left work early to go on 3 day drinking binge in Atlantic City, with my boss.
Albeit, this was some shitty cold calling job, that was hardly finance related.
