Everyone has the story about one kid asking a stupid question, and everyone coughing "asshole." But do you have any truly embarrassing OCR stories? Share them.







At OCR events this year I see
At OCR events this year I see the same douchebag every single time. He thinks he's some slick Saudi dude who has a given right to smash IBD. He pulls up right outside the location that events take place at and parks his Jag illegally, which fucks things up for buses who need to get past.
This fucking slimeball then slithers out of his car wearing shoes that look like slippers with his initials embroidered on the front. He wears this suit which actually looks alright, but then he wears this disgusting cravat.
Recently, three tiny Chinese chicks were chatting to a BB MD when he comes over and overrides them. He reaches out to introduce himself to the MD, but before he can get his words out the MD says, "what the fuck are you doing?".
He then slithers off leaving a trail of grease everyewhere.
These 3 girls talked to no
These 3 girls talked to no one during the recruiting event - never left the food table and never stopped eating. Worst part? They each took out a ZIPLOC bag at the end and started taking the food home! I was appalled.
These are epic so far. By

By all means, keep the FAIL going.
How about telling a guy from
How about telling a guy from a fixed income desk, 'i guess everyone can't do equities, huh?' response: get away from me

At the Banking and Financial
At the Banking and Financial Services Fair at LSE, the following conversation took place:
Rothschild Representative (RR): What interests you about financial services?
Student: I want to be a trader at Rothschild
RR: Ummm.. We don't do that. We're purely into corporate finance advisory
Student: Ohh.. I want to be an investment banker
RR: Really?
Student: Yeah, really. Can I have one of those Rothschild pens now?
A few, but pretty
A few, but pretty generic...
#1
Kid: So... what kind of companies are you doing deals for right now?
BB VP: (are you for real look on his face) "That's... confidential"
#2
About 5-6 students have formed a semi-circle around one banker and are taking turns asking questions. One guy pushes his way through and starts asking questions... then just stands there awkwardly in the middle of the group for the rest of the time
#3
Someone asked a derivatives trader whether you needed to know calculus to be a derivs trader
Clarkey - did you ever find out what happened to that douchebag? Haha... initialed shoes...

A BB, IBD MD places a small
A BB, IBD MD places a small stack of business cards on the table as he heads out of the room. With much fewer cards than there were students, a bunch of kids run up to grab one. One asshole grabs three and sells the other two for $5 each on the spot. The club board members see it happen and ask the kid WTF he was doing. The kid responds like a nonchalant douche and refuses to give the others their money back. The club president goes to walk the MD out to his car and quickly asks for the club resume book (that he gave the MD before the presentation) back. He opens to the the asshole's resume, tears it straight out of the hard-cover bound book, smiles at the MD without giving an explanation, and says "thanks again for coming!"
last fall, a friend of mine
last fall, a friend of mine was at a BB networking event. clearly not jazzed about being at his third schmoozer of the week, he heads straight for a group of his buddies who are chatting near the open bar. he grabs two glasses of wine, pounds the first, asks "how many dicks do you think we're going to need to suck before we can get out of here?", then pounds the second. his buddies stand there in silence while he excuses himself to grab another drink. when he gets back, he notices a tiny woman in a name tag emerge from the middle of the group. she extends her hand to him and introduces herself as head of interest rate products.
GS breakout session with 6
GS breakout session with 6 people and me. It's 2 quiet Asian girls, me, GS chief of staff, his associate, and 2 dudes. "So what do you guys want to know?" Silence. I wait for someone to say something; eventually we get a conversation going about recruiting and the Rolling Stones article. Basically it hurt the employees personally, talked about LB's voicemails, etc. Suddenly guy next to me asks, "So, how much do you pay?"
VP looks at associate in a "did he not get a free Wetfeet guide," caught off guard look. 5 seconds of silence later, they force out a number. "Yeah, that's it... that'll make sure you can eat in NYC."
2 minutes later, the 2nd guy starts talking about saving the environment for 10 minutes, his environmentalist group that he heads, etc. etc. I thought we were going to bring up Hank Paulson and owls.
The two Asian girls never said a thing.
But I got 1 hour one on one with the very nice VP who helped me later. (He's getting a Christmas card).

At a credit suisse event,
At a credit suisse event, this kid comes in, in casual clothes, grabs the pizza and sits down. As the people are speaking, he gets up, grabs some more pizza and sits down. As the networking session is going on, he is standing by the pizza boxes and munching down. Once he is done, he disappears and not to be seen again. I head one of the MD say "who ever eats isn't allowed to leave early".
Not that big deal but everyone noticed him just eating and not talking to anyone else
To Getgo, I have no idea who
To Getgo,
I have no idea who you are talking about. I guess you mistake me for someone else.
