Ask Me Anything (Public High School to Top 5 Summer Analyst)

Hey guys - feel free to ask me anything. This year I obtained an SA offer from a top 5 BB (think GS/MS/JPM). I am looking forward to next summer and would love to answer any questions you have about banking.

Thoughtfully,
Booger

I really hated when they asked that question. My standard response was to tell them that I preferred walking to school as opposed to taking the bus. I realize that is sensitive, as that can imply that you are less willing to deal with both a potential for increased exposure to diversity and social situations which will help you develop as a character (walking is intrinsically isolationist).

Hope this helps.

Thoughtfully, Booger

I don't know what is going on.
