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.
Wow. Somebody woke up this morning, had a couple of "tough guy" cookies and washed it down with some "gangsta" juice...
lol
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.
Oh yeah and the girl who cries at her desk is probably the quickest one to hit you with the sexual harassment complaint lol
Love the whole list. Classic.
Great post!!
awesome
Amazing.
I mean, you don't want to end up on Dealbreaker in a bad way, do ya?
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.
So yea, avoid just about everyone including yourself. Awesome list.
Avoid the 1st yr analyst who thinks you guys are going to be best friends since you have the same Alma mater lol
a few of those are great...
I have "floppy" hair and I am 30 years old...dont hate on people with good hair...
straight from dealbreaker. nice.
Ha, bearcats, couldn't help but laugh when I read one of them, think you know which one.
Avoid the empire-building MD who's on a hiring spree to expand his team, despite having only 2 potential deals lined up for the year.
Seems to be some truth in the jokes, but I don't think I'll be printing it out anytime soon.
