Just filled out my bracket, and I was wondering who everyone else is betting against (for).

My final picks go as:
Louisville, Texas, Kansas, UCLA

UCLA over Kansas in the finals.

Logging in problem

grandpabuzz — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:45:27 -0500

For some reason, every time I come to the forums, I get logged out. After I log back in and click a topic or thread, I get logged out again 80% of the time. I don't think its a problem with my cookies or temp files because this problem has never happened on this site, and my log in information is working fine on other sites I use.

Goldman Sachs FICC/Equities Sophomore Rotational Interview

Just got notified that I got invited for a first round interview. Has anyone had an experience with interviews for this position? What types of questions will I get?

Is a minor worth it?

grandpabuzz — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:07:57 -0500

I currently have the option to graduate a semester early with two majors. However, if I take up a minor in Accounting, Management, etc, I would have to take those extra classes that last semester. So my question is would having a minor really boost my resume for recruitment? Or should I save the money and use it to leave the continent (never have before) during that extra semester?

Anyone see this video?

hedge fund internship?

grandpabuzz — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:13:28 -0400

I have some opportunities to work as at a hedge fund operations group the summer after my sophomore year. I understand the task is mostly getting information and settling trades, but would the experience be beneficial if plan to get into investment banking (corporate finance) after college? Or would it be better to find a boutique internship instead?

private messages?

grandpabuzz — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 10:11:13 -0400

Is this going to be added back later on? There are several members here that I talk through messages, and now, without knowing their e-mail, I do not know how to get in touch with them.

Networking Help

grandpabuzz — Wed, 30 May 2007 19:09:58 -0400

Sorry if this sounds a bit elementary to a lot of you, but I have a few questions about networking. Currently, I am a rising sophomore at UT Austin, and I just came a across a bunch of names and positions at many IBs who graduated from my school. Now I have an idea of what to say in the email/phone conversation, but I really am not sure who I should e-mail and how often. Should I be calling analysts, associates, or others? If I do talk with the analysts, won't they probably be leaving by the time I'm looking for SA or FT? If this doesn't matter, how often should I email them and ask questions? I do not want to do it so much that I annoy them, but I do not want to do it so little that they forget me. Also last year, I talked to and collected a lot of business cards from many analysts/associates from different banks who did presentations here. I know (now) I was supposed to respond a few days after, but should I still try to contact them anyway?

JPMorgan's Honors Interview

I just got a call from them to schedule an interview, and I know a few of you had phone interviews with them, so I'm wondering what kind of questions they'll ask.
