Why Bloomberg?

What would good reasons be as to why you would want to work for Bloomberg. I already have a couple such as their unparalleled access to the business world, but what would be some other good reasons? Appreciate it, thanks.

no one actually wants to

no one actually wants to work for bloomberg... just as no one actually wants to work for factset and no one actually wants to work for capIQ. they may give you a fancy title, such as "Consultant" or "Data analyst", but, in reality, it's either a sales job or you're the guy that I'm b*tching at when I press F1 F1 and you take 20 mins to respond.

lezynski, you should know

lezynski, you should know this, I don't think the other people would like me defacing the public bloomberg terminal... especially since, while F1 may not be used on personal computers, it is very often used on the bloomberg machine.

b2 is actually right - why

b2 is actually right - why take the time to learn all those stupid Bloomberg codes when you can just hit F1 twice and have someone tell you what you need to know in 30 seconds?
