If you had two hours with a legend, what would you ask...

So I went to a non-target and graduated with shit grades but I have a little charm so I'm having dinner with a HF manager next week. I won't say exactly who but he's a billionaire.

What would WSO like to know? He, a few of his traders and I are having dinner and drinks in midtown.

I'm excited to hang out with him and I think he's excited too. Apparently, I'm supposed to bring my "drinking shoes."

Do what got you the dinner in the first place. If it was through talking about something else, then make sure not to ask him for a job -- make him ask you to ask him.

Being a prospective monkey I am bound to post stupid comments due to my lack of expert knowledge. I implore you to correct me harshly or constructively, and I will appreciate any learning opportunity.
