I have applied to a couple of banks for 2018 SA recruiting, and today, I realized the resume I've been applying with was missing a comma. I was missing a comma in the section where I listed my skills.
So for example, it looked like this: FactSet, Microsoft Office Python
Is the missing comma in between Microsoft Office and Python a big deal?

youre fucked man.
Might as well start applying to back office positions, kid.
And if he gets rejected to that, we have a textbook definition of the reasons why someone might commit seppuku.
It's enough to get you disqualified, seriously. Hope no one catches it. But bankers are programmed for that kind of stuff so...
If anyone asks, say you are vehemently opposed to Oxford commas.
I'd be more worried that you list FactSet yawn and Microsoft Office [no shit?] as skills...first step in fixing your resume is definitely seppuku

He could also add this: "On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my "back pain", Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, pot to mellow me out, cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine... Well, because it's awesome." Probably a bit dishonest, but it'll show the kid is well versed in Wall Street movies. It could be evidence to the your job interest.
