Night 2 : Lehman's presentation

- They are too cool for videos, powerpoint, or gift bags

- Your research sector can be Casinos (I am not making this up)

- Don't seem to believe in firing

- First year investment banker Analysts work MAD hard there... 80 hours a week, usually out by 9

- They don't give a crap if you don't know what you want to do, they'll just throw you in a generalist program and let you try everything...free love baby, no commitments...Swingers! (Oh Vince Vaughn how far you've come)

- Chicks in Research are HOT

- Wall streeters can find love ...aww

- Food on a stick is very dangerous when you are very hungry.

- ECM and CMD i-bankers go to hedge fund and trading (actually something useful for once! should answer all those questions about if i-bankers only go to PE)

Conclusion : Lehmans is the bad ass step child of I-banking

Not much to criticize here, was actually pretty impressive making this post rather lame. People were actually able to give real answers instead of basically reciting a memorized script about "It's the people" like Morgan Stanley. Should have a better post when Goldman speaks.

It's very possible they were completely BS'ing, but if so it was MUCH more impressive and believable than MS.
