iamshortgodMerrill is either the ritz or waldorf

seriously? the ritz in battery park i can understand, but the waldorf is way up in midtown, nowhere near WFC... that wouldn't make any sense.

 

Usually pretty nice hotels. I stayed at the Ritz and the W, among other places. Just make sure you consume everything in the mini bar, since the bank pays the hotel bill.

 

Umm actually, by the time they get the bill, the decision has already been made. As has been mentioned on here many times before, decisions are made right after you interview by the people who interviewed you.

No fucking shit sherlock. I've been doing this shit longer than you have been in college.

Just be reasonable with your bill. Take what you feel you need or what is reasonable. I've seen applicants have bills rejected at ML because they went overboard.

 

banks definitely don't pay for mini-bar anyone who says this is an idiot

also, don't assume the decision has already been made when you leave, that's not always the case
