working for sogen or bust!

Somehow I don't think the two are mutually exclusive.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but I have a friend working there who said the exact same thing.

A friend of mine is working at their trading desk there. I get info straight from the source.

Would be me but I told them all to go fuck themselves and walked out the door.

That's a pretty ugly list. If that's the best the industry can come up with we might as well throw the towel in.

Hot girls in IBD are mythical creatures.

Most girls in IBD are doing it because they couldnt use their looks to help them attain success (like prettier girls can), so they have to slug it out like the rest of us guys.

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.

Disagree - there are many hot girls at Chase you just gotta step up your game.

My favorite technique is to grab your withdrawal money, then take one step away before turning back around to stare into her soul and say, "Oh - one other thing Ms. (intentionally use the wrong first name)" as you make it rain in her face like Katrina.

Protip use $ones and just walk out or bring an intern to quietly pick up the bills.

 
hundge at top rateLeave IBD and go work in advertising or fashion for the lookers

Fixed that for you.

My woman works in media, and just about all of her coworkers are slamming hot. And the media industry is far looser, sex with coworkers is commonplace, talked about, and pretty much just assumed. Drinking is a part of the job. Indiscretions at the Christmas party that would derail your career in IB are just laughed at the next morning. Except for the girl in the white dress who passed out on the couch and then shit herself, she had to go...

 

This ones going to be epic.

Both of the women I know working at Lazard are pretty attractive by banker standards. BNP's sales team has some attractive women as well.

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
 

A little over a month ago, I visited Cswiss, JPM, and BAML. It was for work and got to meet a lot of the sales/traders and got to hang around the trading floor of all three. BAML had hotties everywhere. And a lot of them were wearing dresses that you would normally see at clubs.

I'm assuming all these girls were in sales.

What differences did you notice between the banks' trading desks in terms of culture and environment?

u should have asked one out

 
lakersfan1213Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and women were making threads about us. That would be the life.

They have too much choice, we're all the frickin' bomb!

ive actually thought about this, working in ib or s&t must be awesome for women, only surrounded by wealthy successful good looking men(amongst the senior bankers anyway)
 

God I hate the fucking threads that degenerate into NY vs. Chicago vs. other MSA or the ones that talk about Canadia / Canadian target schools

 
tiger89Anyone know which office Xenia works in? shes crazy hot
London.
I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

I have alot to add here...

1) If you are going into this business for the girls you have got some real problems. And if you are girl and going into it for the guys like user then you've got real issues. Occasionally you'll find a hot saleswoman but in general wall st both guys and girls is filled with pretty unattractive people both physically and on the inside.

2) Michelle Meyer is quite cute but married...she has been into our office quite a few times to present her views.

3) On the subject of "company ink" its generally no big deal. The only people I have seen get into trouble for it had blatant issues...ie I know a 40 year old married sales guy who was banging his 22 year old analyst and then after he became basically obsessed with her (as tends to happen when a fat 40 year old guy manages to hook up with a good looking girl of that age) she breaks it off and complains to HR that he is a wierdo (which he was). But other then situations like that i say have a good time.

4) Lastly, St Louis girls are bad but not nearly as bad as Wash U girls so nobody from Wash U should be saying anything. I would venture to guess that WUSTL has the ugliest girls in the nation.

What? I can't complain about how ugly the girls are in st. louis because the girls are ugly on campus? They are all ugly, I don't discriminate between levels of ugly.

More on story (3) please... so what happened to both of them at the end? Where are they now?

 
tiger89San Francisco or LA must have a lot of hot chicks in IB

An 30-something guy I know worked in both LA and SF, and he said that out there all women care about is tech money (SF) and media (music, tv, film) in LA. He's a guy who does very well with women in NY and made a ton of money in the early 2000's but would get passed over in favor of C-list actors and no-client agents in LA and by any guy with VC dollar in his startup in SF.

When I was a Summer Associate, we would occasionally have events/training with the Summer Analysts as well.

Those were the best days by far. There were a few fresh analysts who were on a whole 'nother level. One of them even wore cocktail dresses to work.

Normally, I'd be trying not to pass out at these training things, but not when she was there.

I'm drooling just thinking about her now.

Alexey... busted again... you PIG! You just keep doing this to me over and over... S-L-A-P!!!

 
random99How else did you expect him to get through those boring presentations.

True.

Because they were usually these breakfast presentation things and some jack ass would have the coffee all the way on the other side of the table.

I need caffeine like a mofo, but I don't want to be the one jack ass talking and making a bunch of noise reaching over people while some Senior Person at the bank is talking.

So, whatever it takes.

 

i hope you still got her number to pas on to me

At least you had something to pass the time. Most of the time all we had was a balding fat guy telling us how he was doing a great new deal. Once in a while a woman turned up but she would look like a man anyway. If we were really lucky a leggy, assy, busty one would come in and then you find out her boyfriend is an MD so chance

 
random99Never left london. I hope she works near the wharf

Good to have another Londoner around.

You know, she didn't take the offer and I have no idea where the hell she is.

But, this all reminds me, I should start taking steps to find out!

 

Man, it seems everyone had hot interns in their class over the summer except the biggest predator of them all ... Me !

I swear my intern class, both analyst and associate, was a sea of mingers, I felt like I was at a Star Wars fan convention or something.

Sean,

I'm not sure what goes on over in New York, but in London the attitude towards sexual harassment and women in the workplace and all that is TOTALLY different than in the US.

You can still get in trouble if you do something completely stupid, but all joking aside, there are people who definitely intentionally (and one could argue systematically) hire hot girls.

Don't get me wrong, it's no modeling agency, it's still in the end an investment bank, but there's always something to keep it interesting.

 

You weren't the only one. Only thing I ever saw was a bunch of desperate analysts trying to impress the MD. Not a looker in the whole class
