where do you work no names please
.
What do you guys wear out (to the bars)?
just wondering
Do these "Fuck Banking" posts refer to S&T or CM as well?
Obviously a hot topic on WSO has been all of the banking posts we've seen where people basically emphasize their hatred toward the profession or state that it's not for them in some way. This often has to do with the work involved, the hours, and the feeling that one isn't really learning much.

Are Ear Piercings Appropriate for BB IBD Analysts?!!
I have 2 piercings (1 on cartilage, 1 on ear lobe). I'll be starting in a BB in NYC for full time and I was wondering if it is appropriate for work.
