He goes to Berk. Ik of him thru a mutual so I don’t want to dox but pretty easy to find

 

lol finding a random kid from berk who interned at a hf is not easy... but anyway probably a nepo from there. Wharton/Harvard/NYU kids get internships from time to time out of merit

Some college kids are incredibly cracked

Speaking as someone ~15 yrs out from school now, being a “cracked” college student has pretty limited correlation with a successful long term career.  The couple “star” students from my target graduating class who had the best internships and led “top” clubs have generally had pretty middle of the road career outcomes.  (And there have definitely been great outcomes from my class)

 

Well for starters once of their founders ran for President fairly recently, that forces some behavioral change

R we talking about the same person?

Guy I’m talking about didn’t even make it past the writeup portion of the interview (from what he told me). So doubt we are talking about the same person.

 

Coatue kid? he was locked the fuck in and got lucky through cold emailing but isn't going back there, doing IB at a BB. not a nepo either. super smart kid

 

you don't get to intern at coatue from cold emailing. but they would never hire a college kid regardless
