Groups that workout

titanboxer — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:27:09 -0400

I've seen quite a few posts about groups that work out as the vps/mds are leaving and then the analysts go back to work. Or just the analysts/associates work out after everyone leaves. Are there certain groups that are known for this, or is there anyway to try and get into a group that does this, all other things being equal?

Its easier to work out when you have other people there doing the same and it becomes part of your daily routine.

Two more years of college then Wall St....

I am in need of a little advice. This was covered a little while ago in an IB thread, but I wanted advice from some traders. My eventual goal is to end up on a trading desk at a BB or hedge fund, probably something with derivatives.

I was deployed with the army a couple years ago and, since high school wasn't a time that I studied a great deal, when I got back I started taking classes at the community college. Over the last two years I have been at community college attempting to transfer to a respectable school.

Finally, I have been accepted to transfer to Columbia, Cornell, and the University of Illinois. So I think that narrows it to Columbia or Cornell. The programs would be Cornell AEM or Economics and Operations Research at Columbia. At Columbia I would also be able to take classes geared toward, if not earn a concentration in, financial engineering.

Fund List

Do you think we could all come up with a list of funds that everyone can add to? I know there are thousands and barclays sells a list with them all on it for like 5 grand or whatever.

some "target" clarrification

I know there is already too much of this on here, so i apologize, but does anyone want to go through what they think are the top ten undergrad feeders for bbs trading desks? I know it would vary by major and desk, but for a normal finance business, average trader, not a quant but still smart....you know what i mean..
So:

S&T Hiring during downtrend

titanboxer — Sat, 26 May 2007 16:24:56 -0400

Seeing as the market will turn soon enough and, with my good luck, be at its worst when I am trying to get a job, does S&T hire significantly less during lean times like ibanking? Ive been wondering about this, I feel like it is going to be a lot harder to get a job, but I would rather learn during a down market.

Cornell

Would Cornell be a target for S&T if a student was doing say math and econ?
