That is fucking awesome.

If anyone called me chief, I would go Dick Fuld on their ass and knock them the fuck out, regardless of who they are. So, maybe I should be the 26th person to avoid on Wall Street.

Lol, I always laugh on the inside when I heard someone more senior call an SA chief and saw them get excited. Meanwhile i'm thinking, Dude he doesn't even know your name.

this is so true.

Avoid the guy who won't share his Adderall: It just speaks to his character.

Love the whole list. Classic.

24 is great. Never get into a fight with Bess Levin. So very very true... not that I would know.

Very true, I mean I thought about Facebooking her, but then pictured all of my dirty messages plastered next to Steve Cohen on the home page of DB.

Avoid the 1st yr analyst who thinks you guys are going to be best friends since you have the same Alma mater lol

  1. Avoid the chick in IB Ops with the insanely large breasts. After you bang her, she'll hound you about how can she get over to a more front office role.
