You beat me to it Edmundo. I can see how this would happen. Lehman is going to go bankrupt by midnight tonight.
When this happens Merrill Lynch will be fucked. If ML failed to merge with another bank, they too could go bankrupt by the end of this week.
oh my god. semi targets say good bye to the street.
wow im glad i did my interviews and got my offer in August....good luck to all for recruiting this year...
Forget recruiting....Let's hope the Street is still around come December!
Offer or not, I'm still not feeling great about what's going on now. Any thoughts on whether FT offers made over the past few weeks could be in serious danger at the banks thus far not on the chopping block? ie BofA, JPM, GS...
-
BOA offers might be in trouble considering BOA might buy ML tonight.
just seem to be getting worse. I feel for Lehman, as they are likely to collapse very soon. Goodluck to all in the fall recruiting.
Yes, Fall Recruiting is going to be a complete shitshow...
Jesus Christ...why now...why not in 2011..lol...
GS has not made there FT offers yet.
Just think of the more senior people--sad situation.
This is crazy. I never expected BoA to buy ML.

Well so much for getting an internship this summer.
I was born the fn worst year ever.
How will all this impact recruiting in Hong Kong and London? Will NYC no longer be the #1 financial capital on earth?
What are ML bankers thinking about all of this? What will happen to them?
Didn't someone make a post about how awesome ML is going to be (the next Goldman). Talk about timing
You can hear the collective saying "Hello MBA, Goodbye Wall Street..."
Un-fukin-believable!
No more Lehman... BofA and Merrill merge.. geez thats like applications for three firms down.
What are the thoughts on AIG? They were one of the biggest losses of the week along with Merrill and Lehman!

Lol I wonder what b2 has to say now....oh man...
think his hard- on just went real limp--
Johnny Boy must feel like shit. He gets snubbed at Goldman Sachs and then right after becoming head of a major investment bank he is forced to merge.
I'm sure Thain gets a monster golden parachute though on top of his $84 million in compensation last year and maybe he can go house hunting to upgrade from his $30 million pad.
Guys, what do you think about Merrill recruiting, my friends just interview invitation last week for on campus recruiting, is it still happening or what
Wow this is a huge shockwave for the street to bear. I hope the health of the US financial system stays in tact.
