Thanks, WSO
I just wanted to thank this community for the wealth of free advice that actually does exist on this site. Coming from a non-target and an under-represented US geography, I started at a boutique advisory shop where the experience I was getting was only loosely relevant to what my peers at more name brand shops were getting. I then moved to a middle market group at a large European bank in NYC, which laid off half of my group's headcount a few months back. I got the axe, but managed to come out of it with some stellar recs from senior bankers in my group. Thanks in no small part to the contributors on site, I was finally able to land a spot in a great coverage group at a BB.
I'll even thank all of the "new-monkey" (if I may coin a phrase) trolls that are beginning to populate the boards for filling my head with semi-superficial standards that kept me from settling for the first couple of offers that came my way after being laid off.
I'll try my best to pay it forward whenever I can.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

Congrats bro. I love this
Congrats bro. I love this site too, when I got a paid internship at Merrill Lynch in PWM, everyone was stoked when I told them (in real life) beside me. Before this site, I would of been unbelievably hyped to get it, but I doubt I would of gotten it in the first place without the site. WSO monkeys have ambition to be the top 1% of society and doesn't settle for less. I love that and just keep working hard bro.

The HBS guys have MAD SWAGGER. They frequently wear their class jackets to boston bars, strutting and acting like they own the joint. They just ooze success, confidence, swagger, basically attributes of alpha males.
