How to ask for help from other users
When asking for advice, please keep your questions between 1-4 short sentences; never make your question more than 5 lines. We don't care about why you had bad grades, your medical condition, etc....
Good Example:
I'm a sophmore English major at a non-target with a 3.2 GPA. I have no finance experience, but I've found that I'm interested in investment banking. How do I get started?
Bad Example:
In high school I didn't really care about my grades, so I ended up at a non-target, but I really care about my grades now. I had a tuff time freshman year cuz I was partying, (2.5 GPA), but I finally got it up to a 3.2. I know that's bad, but I have a few more years to raise it even more. My major is English and I cant change majors because I'm already almost complete with it. I'm rally a good student, but I just need a chance to prove myself. Do you think if I study Mandarin Chinese, lern how to build models, and take accounting courses I will have a chance at goldmen seks?
Whenever I send a PM to a BSD on here, I try to keep it to one line, and ask my question indirectly.
Example:
I want to work at the Goldman Sachs.
Effective communication. Be direct about what you want from them and don't wait for them to "help you".
jesus this is a must needed post
Number of legit help messages I've received this year: 6. Number of people I responded to and "helped" : 2.
Why? those two included maybe 1.5 sentences in their request.
I imagine the stats for "humans" are like 10 out 200.
This is a good post.
Adipisci dicta maxime quia. Sint ea porro in sit. Vel et non aspernatur corrupti eaque. Maiores molestiae neque eius natus.
