Good suggestion - I just added an option for that at the bottom of the poll. Thanks 

 

I find the advice here helpful for job recruiting. Guess if you get to PE, you already are at the point when you know how to interview and find jobs and such? 

 

This is just a recruiting advice forum so most people are going to be college kids and analysts who are still trying to figure out the job. 

 

Associates just come on here to see what bonuses other places are paying lol 

 

Voted IB Associate even though I'm in PE now. I mainly come here these days just to see the top threads and hear what the talk of the street / rumor mill is and discern if anything interesting is going down.

Sometimes when it's really slow at work I'll kill some time browsing threads, seeing if there are any good jokes / puns I can make or any topics I'm qualified to speak on at length to be helpful. I do get annoyed sometimes at the amount of Students through AN1s that think they know everything about everything. I was one too though. 

 

Yes definitely. Lots of people seem to need a place to vent about workplace annoyances / wlb
