Things to make fun of and are unprestigious

add in fordham

dammit, i was about to say fordham

Rutgers

What's wrong with Capital Markets?

Edmundo put it more elegantly than anyone else but i would add fordhammaster to his own list.

+1 Edmundo.

But also, people who wear square toed shoes.

Edmundo's post is spot on...

What is wrong with you?

if its all in jest, then what's the big deal?

No way this guy is serious. Most of us have read the leveraged sellout and had a good laugh. The outlaying douchebags that take themselves so seriously that they actually take their banker prestige to heart and really think people in PWM are shitty, shouldnt be able to detract from the tongue-in-cheek humor of posts like this.

Consultants and liberal arts degrees.

People who believed in Obama for change.

State school kids.....oh wait

BofA

I should mention I though this entire thread was sarcastic--my apologies to the Rutgers kids. Those guys are serious?

....zhu zhu hamster toys

don't take life so seriously i made this thread just for fun, though some of it is true since ppl on this board like to make fun of each other, but its all in good fun. I will add consultants to the list. also capital markets blows 'cause of 0 exit ops and lower pay and sometimes its middle office work that is recruited separate from IBD. I will also add state school only cuz there are some idiots (though many state school kids like me are quite smart and hardworking). i'll also add women for obvious reasons since they burn out and go into PWM.

New List:

Back Office Middle Office Sales Shady Prop trading firms and casinos like SMB capital Crappy no name boutiques like FTP Capital Markets Jefferies/Piper Jaffray PWM Backwater offices in Asia Consultants State school kids Women

NYU Stern

cross women off the list, fordham. this is exactly what amande96 wants to hear. and add lawyers instead.

lol...too funny

Fordham trash talks capital markets kids left and right yet I know of so many that have futures way brighter than his. But that's all fine and good if you actually had a job

I think the way to get into a BB from a non-target is not to be a raging dickhead

rating agencies!

Drop: Sales NYU Stern Women (credit to touchme)

Add: Trolls Aldo shoes

Edit: Add Equity Research as well...

above ground pools

Ty decarez. I will keep sales on, unfortunately its still for women n minorities and pushers who couldn't make it as traders. however i will remove women since its a bit sexist. howver i will add E.R., that is a good contribution i forgot about.

Cool, man. A list. This is hilarious, dude. Are you gonna use it? Are you gonna use the list? Shit, I wish I had a list of topics enabling me to be humorous.

Nah, really I'm just being a dick because I am a state-schooled equity research salesman at Jefferies' backwater Asian office, who does some side consulting.

Where's Stern on the list? David Stern needs to be on this list.

LOL I don't know whether to take this thread seriously or not anymore.

Don't forget to add Dallas, it seems to be a popular item in Liars Poker!

because this is not a hate rag and you of all people should know that brown

come on as i've seen your many posts trying to clean things up

can't have patrick on here 24x7 babysitting these immature babies that can't seem to get their asses out of the wasting time mode

the site will go under and sue to a few little pricks that don't know how to handle themselves

nite

Good God. Is this real?

Anyone who makes fun of someone for working in a middle / back / whatever office is a fucking retard. We're all just trying to make a buck.

Yacht: thanks for your contribution, the board has decided to add it in, though Dallas is a bit outdated so we will use chicago in the list. I didn't add houston since they are at least used for energy and nat resources.

fordhammaster and his dad

^how do u like FTP?

I'll be working at a prestigious place, one that you can never get a job at. I still don't show others down the way you do. Piece of shit.

equities in dallas

fordhammaster = sternmasta reincarnate?

A lot of anger on this one right now. The whole point of a list like this is to make fun and joke.

To be honest, all of the things on the list are the less "prestigious" options. That doesn't mean they are worthless, just that they aren't as prestigious, generally pay worse, and have more limited exit options.

All else being equal, you will have wider exit opps in non-cap markets IB than in cap markets. Going to an Ivy will help you get a job over someone who went to a state school. GET OVER IT.

Personally, I have lived in Chicago (on the list) and I'm now in ER. So what, I choose them because I like them. This post is in the MONKEYING AROUND Forum. It isn't meant to provide insight, its meant to relieve stress and have fun.

Stick to the parts of the forum that are meant to provide advice if that is what you are looking for.

Great post Powermonkey, I would give you bananas if I could. I don't get why people so vehemently argue against simple facts of life. Does Wharton on average place better than BYU? Yes. But who works in IBD in a BB on my floor? BYU alum. Its about the individual and what you make of your life, and don't be such an uptight ahole not to have fun while you're alive.

^if you can keep a list than you must be easy

I would add RBS right next to PJC/Jefferies.

At first I would say no since then i'd have to add in nomura/bnp/societe/etc. but now that RBS has been CRUSHED and OBLITERATED both firmwise and new U.K. regulations-wise, I will include RBS as one of the firms to be shat on due to 0 bonuses for 2 years and the huge fleeing of talent from that shithole firm. I also have spelled out private wealth management since noobs migh tnot know what PWM is.

Thank you for your contribution.

^ An ex-consultant at Accenture who now works in the IT solutions of Piper Jefferies Shanghai office

Um that'll cost u 19.99, u've piled it on heavier than most

Can I just have a T-shirt that says I'm fordhammaster? That's about as unprestigious as it gets.

I think it's quite funny...why so serious on Monkeying Around?

now that the list is complete we can start making fun. LOL @ SALES u guys blow, u drag s&t down

Make sure to print off a copy of the list so you can take it with you to the bars...I mean dorm parties. You'll be a hit once you bust that list out and start reading from it. If girls love anything, it's a man with a list.

What a douchebag this guy is. He's like the person everyone loves to hate. This must be a joke. I seriously hope he's joking

When you state State School, are you just referring to any public University?

I'm surprised Fordhammaster left off crippled kids and broken homes.

My list basically boils down to fordhammaster.

econ: no man, i'm from a state school myself. I'm talking about shitty ones like baruch and rutgers. the good ones are like berkeley, ucla, uva, umich, unc, ut.

"I'm surprised Fordhammaster left off crippled kids and broken homes."

that doesn't relate to finance. stay on topic please?

lol why not just write

-anything that is not IBD

and save yourself the typing
