What is a dealbreakers? I believe you mean "Dealbreaker"
Oh man, for some reason I do not think this his internet plea for employment will pan out.
wow
...i guess the next thing some kid will do for a job is start a twitter campaign or some sort of app
At least Aleksey Vayner had that dance sequence with the girl...
Welcome to finance application hall of fame, Mark Nazal.
...wow...that's a first
GPA killed it for him
I don't think one should list TV shows on a resume either.
i bet fordhammaster made this website
Someone should call his references.
I hope it works out for him
His resume's not bad actually...major is 3.8 but cumulative is 3.2? Guess someone took it too easy after HS.
I don't see what is the "added value" of doing that. It is pretty stupid because if RBC doesn't hire him, what is going to do? Create a new website for every application...
It's great to be motivated but THIS is pathetic.
..jeeez if he only put this much effort into networking
He actually listed buying a textbook as a reason he should be hired
Consider RBC is stepping up their recruiting at Duke, all that effort was unnecessary. There was plenty of opportunity for him to network even late last semester.
Doh, I was looking forward to a good laugh. Anybody got it archived?
"Due to overwhelming demand, I am taking down the website temporarily in order to respond to emails and phone calls. If you would like to see my resume or talk to me, please email: [email protected], or call 336-307-6389. Thank you for your interest!!!

RBC is a horrible bank too, adds to the laughs.
He wants to work in Canada, where RBC is undisputed No. 1....
Nothing like listing friends/current students as references...

LOL I wonder if his friends/references knew they would be public
haha god this is priceless. this at least deserves a first round.
and RBC really isn't that terrible of a bank. they are probably one of the best MM and has decent showings on league tables

nice find.
What if Jiggaboo Partners was #1 in Somalia, would you wanna apply there? No. United States is the best, with Asia/Europe a second choice. Canada is a backwater..
hungry: They're not horrible as a MM. Just below jefferies for US, which to me is unacceptable.
lol
"What if Jiggaboo Partners was #1 in Somalia, would you wanna apply there?"
I squirted water from my nose. Nice job.
have you ever considered no one cares your opinion on banks. not sure about their M&A capabilities but have seen them on a number of underwritings in the past six months
Thomson Reuters Any Canadian Involvement (2009):
RBC Capital Markets (1) $71.9 b CIBC (2) $50.9 b Scotiabank-BNS (3) $33.2 b BoA Merrill (4) $32.0 b
I just want to inform people that Canada is a backwater. Macq is commonly known to be horrible and it's #1 in Australia. 99% on these boards are in the U.S, so go by the U.S. rankings, which would mean some MM's like HLHZ > RBC. Just spreading the knowledge.
The more you know.
Kid probably comes on this site. Looks like he took it down
The amount stupidity by some people on here. Just cause someone does not take the path you did is not completely wrong. Also the amount of NY centric crap on here. It's 2010 1styearbanker and others get your heads out of your asses.
RBC, Macquaire are not shit banks they own in their product areas. If OTPP bought BCE, that would have been the biggest LBO of all time, tell me how many NYC/US offices were in on that deal. Name where the largest mining firms in the world in commodities like gold are, not in the US. You think they going to call NYC if Goldcorp decides to make an Exonn style purchase in the next little while?
Also this exact method worked for a kid in Canada, his site was "whyabankshouldhireme" and I beleive he landed a research job at a top bank in Canada. It's 2010, if you have the credentials and you make a professional website/facebook wuteva no reason to not take it serious. Vayner/Chiang were cocky idiots, the guy who made the "whyabankshouldhireme" was one of the most humble dudes around.
Btw, RBC and other Canadians banks raided the crap out of BBs in the last 2 years, so many VPs/MDs jumped ship after one phone call. So clearly these people with 10+ years experience are morons who want to work for a 2nd tier bank.
Not really pretty sure BB's are killing it. Last 2 years? Don't make me laugh. How many PE firms are in australia and canada? Will working in those countries get you KKR or HBS? No.
Thanks for telling me what year it was. I was not aware that 2010 means that Canada has now replaced NYC as a financial hub. Geez I need to get out of my dimension and enter yours.
Macq/RBC are 2nd tier banks. Get over it. Canada/Australia are backwaters. Do you care if Piper Jaffray is #1 in Montana? Who the fuck cares.
Anyone have this site saved or something. It is down which is kind of weird since the purpose was to gain attention. Probably should have bounce the idea of this site before he went ahead with it, would of saved him a lot of grief.
Maybe my post came across the wrong way, but I never said anywhere has replaced NYC as the financial hub of the world. You make it seem like every BB analyst is on their way to HBS and BX/TPG/KKR/etc. Reality it is much more competitive for a BB analyst from even the top groups to get into those places, while an M&A guy from RBC has very good chance of getting into Onex/ONCAP/etc. Likewise with HBS, again since there is so few analysts and consultants in the major Canadian offices it is easier to land into HBS coming from M/B/B or RBC/CIBC up here. The top Bschools usually take 'X' amount of Canadians a year, and usually those 'X' come from certain places.
Based on cost of living and salary you are also pretty much making same or more in a place like Toronto. These are all reasons that my friends chose to goto top banks out here, than try to get into a MM or so in the US.
I am not saying RBC is GS/MS/JPM/DB/BAML and they sure ain't a backwater or piper jaffray either, is what you are claiming time and time again.
^I agree with many of your points but in the end I think if you want to be in Canada long term, its cool. But it is not easier for many of my Canadian friends to apply to top American programs or universities.
