I came across this article yesterday which talks about how some students from a top Indian b-school grabbed salaries of 200K $ an year from Barclays Capital. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/IIM-C-gr… I am wondering if these figures are true. From my knowledge of Indian b-schools, I can...

Penn or UChicago JD/MBA vs BB Analyst Stint
I'm a senior with an analyst offer with a bulge bracket firm. However, once everything started going to shit this past fall, I took it upon myself to take the LSAT and apply to law school so that I wouldn't be completely fucked had I not gotten an offer with my firm or had an offer revoked.
H-1B Visa Applications
Has anyone heard anything from HR in regards to H-1B applications this April? As you know, the newly passed stimulus package includes much tighter provisions for banks to hire and apply for H-1Bs this spring. How are you planning to handle the situation? Do you believe OPTs will be accepted now...
Any Other Sites Like WSO?
Hey guys, I was wondering if there are other forums like WSO floating around out there that are of the same caliber as this one (in terms of both content and organization). I've seen some other forums like BankersBall, DealBook (the forums don't seem to exist anymore), etc., but they're all pretty...
Surprise - you're now in operations: Goldman's Class of 2008
This could be old news, but I was talking with my friend last night who is in S&T at Goldman working on their derivatives desk, and he mentioned that half of the IBD incoming class was reassigned to work in operations.

IBD SA Offers
Has anyone received their offers yet? For the people who have gone through this already, how long should I wait before calling/emailing the recruiters. I had my superday a week ago and they said they would get back to me by now. I figure I would give it the weekend. Any thoughts on this?

Competition for summer analyst postions will be brutal
I am amazed that many of us think that this year is going to be easy to get summer positions. While browsing I found this: This kid now attends Harvard on a full academic scholarship and is the elected Political Action Chair of the Harvard Black Students Association as well as a member of The...
Real bankers - Do you regret going into banking?
I get the impression that a lot of people in IBD hate their jobs and are just grinding it out to get to the golden temple of exit ops. That being said, if you could do it all over again...would you have chosen a different profession? Or if not, then perhaps a different group or bank?

Would I be crazy...?
Sorry in advance for the long post, but I need some advice... Let me begin by saying I know I am getting slightly ahead of myself, but I would rather start thinking about this sooner rather than later. So I lost my summer internship in IBD when my bank went under in the spring. I managed to get...
Is this internship opportunity worth it? Senior deciding between BB and potentially PE
I was just called in for an interview at a smaller PE firm (the firm is legit, not a chop shop). I was deciding if this fall internship opportunity (meaning fall of this year as in right now) is worth it. The responsibilities include: - Perform necessary research and writing in support of the...

With the way the economy is going, is being a corporate attorney the way to go now?
The title says it all. Although I'm sure corporate lawyers are affected somewhat by the stuff that's going on, they aren't as likely to be laid off because of it (right?), which is why I'm wondering if perhaps becoming one is a more stable path, not just now, but in general to pursue. EDIT: Btw, I...
