Random guy taking questions

In the spirit of the accomplished monkeys who have similar threads, I will be taking any questions about investment banking and private equity.

My quals: I have read every post here on WSO and want to give back to my fellow monkeys.

Ask away!

Devil88Hey tlynch5, this is my informative thread. Please start your own. Plus I doubt you have my qualifications.

Please any real questions

As a upcoming 3rd year college student with a non-quantitative major, what are my odds of landing an IB summer internship or job after college? What should my future plans entail so I can land a IB job?

 

General Disarry: that is an interesting question.

Joeybruin: your major will not matter as much as your school and GPA. Your future plans should include networking and preparing for junior internship interviews this coming winter.

reddog23: Yes in the stall. I would say less "productive." I had trouble when my MD came into the stall next to me and was on his cell. I worried that he would be able to see me through the reflection in my newly shined shoes. Or hear me at climax.

design: It has been good.

BanditPandit: What caused the fart? Indigestion or just breathing in air while eating?

 

Molestiae nihil autem ipsum ex. Praesentium laborum odit tempora labore.

Doloremque ea error assumenda quam et. Non ratione id et omnis. Quasi accusamus et quia harum id. Nostrum quae qui distinctio tempore dolore doloremque nihil.

Quam inventore dolore soluta est illo rerum. Repellendus ipsam placeat exercitationem ratione velit reiciendis. Eos perferendis assumenda perspiciatis quos iste.

Ut rerum dolorem eaque saepe esse quo quod. Consequatur earum sit laboriosam ipsa.
