I see you every time you walk down the halls. You recover from your zombie-like trance just long enough to avert your eyes away from mine. The semester has worn you down and what do you have to show for it? You are a stump of a man.
You hope I don't start up a conversation with you because you know it will lead to the inevitable. That talk and pitter patter about plans for the summer. Great summer plans of getting wined and dined in some far off city. Great plans of meeting new people and getting paid to do nothing. Because you didn't get a single fucking offer. And I can see the pain in your eyes.
I had more callbacks than you had first-interviews. I had more offers than the number of firms who would even deign to look at you twice. I've been to more cities in 4 weeks than you or your grandchildren will ever set foot in during their entire lives. Chicago, New York, LA. I can tell you which airlines fly from which terminals and how many feet you have to walk to get to the 6:50 flight to LaGuardia from the 5:30 flight from O'Hare. I've had more money thrown at me on a single dinner than you spent on food in an entire month. Because you had heard about the stories of excess. And they wouldn't even let you glance inside the window.
I'm sorry my friend, but the life of ibanking is not only the life of the mind, it is the life of the mob. And to the mob, I cast my body thereupon.
what the hell is this nonsense?
What the hell? That was lame.
not everybody cares about finance
From the ghetto...
haha that's the saddest thing i've ever read.
you're pathetic
Obviously trying to be Leveraged Sellout... not working..
Yo - Danny
From the ghetto is my prop sign off
I will bruck u up, London style
From the ghetto....
seriously, this is laughable...
you want to see ridiculous dinners go out with brokers some time.
I agree with this. IBD is nothing over brokers.
This guy is an all-around idiot....go check out some of his other posts. He goes to Maryland (not to knock the school-good school), but has this "I'm the shit" attitude. Another poster that I would love to meet in real life to see if his on-line persona is really just another fake attempt at being cool.
What a weak attempt at humor. At least, I hope it was an attempt at humor...
i absolutely despise people like this. get real buddy
Dont make me call my friends out in London to come over and "english muffin" your ass...
wooooooooww, what a loser. I totally concur with IronBanker.....I absolutely despise people like this. Hopefully, i will never, ever meet someone like you-- with your horribly racist comments, and elitist attitude. Stop gunning for attention.
Go off yourself, I mean really, you suck at life.
an immature kid who is nothing more than a punk. With that attitude, I doubt that was how you got your offers. You probably dropped your pants, bent over, and had a small neon sign flashing in red above your crack flashing, "insert here"
This is copied and pasted from a post at xoxohth.com; it was originally in reference to "biglaw," not IB. e.g., notice his mention of getting paid to do nothing? Law firm summer associates are the only ones who really get wined and dined like that, not corpfin summer analysts.
Still, I found this to be sort of funny. Obviously struck a chord with people like pwm2ib.
Seriously...enjoy your time in banking, people like you don't last long with that attitude.
Bonne chance.
You are a douche and the fact that you go to my school makes it awful for all of us
Or is everyone missing the obvious irony in the post. I'll be damned if that guy literally meant those lines.
"And to the mob, I cast my body thereupon"- good stuff man

I got an offer for Ops from a top 5 vault ibank and pay was 40k with signing bonus + end of year bonus. The location isnt in NYC though, I guess they adjusted to reflect COL. Lame.
---that was his post about the ops job. So I guess he is going around laughing at people because he has an offer in bumblefcuk,whatever in ops.
People really do their research on this board
Wow, people really got upset at this one...
Jeez people, maybe ibankers have no sense of humor? I'm glad a few found this funny. it was copy/pasted from a law message board.
Most of the people on this board are dumb as fuck.
is it really worth it to go to a no-name law school?
SJFC07 no it isnt. it also depends on what you mean by no name. there is the "t14" or the top 14 schools, those are all good national schools. then there is the top 20, which is bascially 6 good regional schools, this includes UCLA/USC west coast, texas/vandy in the south, GW in DC, and WUSTL for midwest. also if you want boston, bc or bu are not terrible either.
any other school and i hope you are getting a scholarship to pay for it. id advise you to go to the xoxo law message board. those guys are assholes compared to me though, its a fun board
gqbanker15 that was nothing, look at the research they do on the law board. its amazing
You would hope that law school people do research, that's all law is, researching precedents...not like original thoughts goes far in law...
xis, spoken like a true non lawyer. just look at the evoluation of what an offer is, product liability, a contract, etc over the past 50 years. ya nothing changes...
or how about the tax set up cravath did that was so complicated that the IRS didnt know if it was legal or not.
if you think the law is black and white, you are so wrong. they dont pay them millions to find a code that proves their case. in terms of intellectual stimulation. law >>>>> banking

Not to say banking is very stimulating either, just saying it is hard to argue that either are "creative" fields that require tons of original thought.
Sorry, never knew tax-law was that exciting...
Besides, I was referring to the fact that much of US law is the common law system.
i didnt say creative, i said intellectual stimulation. being a political science professor wold probably be high in terms of intellectual stimulation (the research not teaching) but would be low in creativity
law doesnt get interesting till your in it for a number of years, young associats (4 years or less) get the basic stuff. so most lawyers in their 20s are doing fairly boring things. not sure what age lawyers you know.
