"Since 2002, we have completed over 110 such transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $13 billion. "
It's like they're proud of it. How quaint!
I guess after not getting those SA and FT offers you guys have to revert to trying to make another firm deal with the same stigma you fools gave UBS/Piper Jaffray. Trying to weed out all those more qualified applicants, are we?
way too many types of intelligence to answer this. My biggest grudge with calling kids "smart". which type? the ones you value most?

If by "smart" you mean "faggish" then yes.
Firm with smartest employees is DE Shaw or Jane Street. If you're excluding all "quant" firms (which is like asking which is the sweetest tasting candy excluding all the ones with sugar in them), then I suppose it'd be McKinsey.

Whichever company I end up at.
Hate to break it to you, but whichever company you end up at is probably not going to have the smartest employees if you're one of them.
prince of princeton, while a clever enough to elicit a chuckle name, for some reason smacks of Brokeback Mountain...
on the second thought, I'd say Rocky Horror Picture Show. amirite?!
In terms of finance it has to be H&R Block...
So why are quant guys the smartest people all of a sudden?
