Second interview with shit private equity firm, what does that mean?
Hi, what does a second interview mean? If with a shit private equity firm? Trouble is, he told me today morning to meet him in a few hours later today.
I have no experience at all in finance and never took a single finance course.
Thank you so much
EDIT: I GOT THE JOB. CHECK OUT MY POST IN THE END
Your success will depend on how well you're able to demonstrate you want to work for their shitty firm. Knowing that most successful people steer clear of them like the plague, you'll want to convey that you are also shit, with little to no skills (hard or soft) that you can apply from day 1. Also, most people who work at shitty firms have a chip on their shoulder/are insecure, so you'll want to convey that you are incompetent to the point that they never have to fear that you'll push them out of their jobs that they're trying to desperately hold onto knowing they're being substantially overpaid for the value they're adding.
With that in mind, I think you're well on your way to a shitty position.
Congrats on the secretary position. I'm going to show this to Sharon to show her she's massively overpaid.
DickFuld What a shit and mean thing to say. Fuck off instead of saying something mean. Just because you bankrupted Lehman you think you are better than everyone and you put me down.
Now the COO told me that if I perform well I will get promoted to a business analyst position. I will say this: I got a 99 percentile on the MCAT. This means that I am most likely in the top 0.001 percent of the US population. Maybe smarter than you.
I wrote a excellent cover letter, interviewed excellent and demonstrated solid intellect. Hence I got the position over others.
Bask in the glory of my praise for a few moments before you go back to living your little, petty life. Congrats in advance on the future promotion to yet another slightly better back office position offered to you by the COO of a 'shit firm'.

How am I supposed to feel about being tagged in this list?
EDIT: Unclear as to whether I'm tagged because I'm supposed to rain down on OP, because DickFuld thinks my opinion in particular matters on WSO, or I'm one of the tags that's just an insult that happens to also be a username
I got tagged & untagged from this comment lol. I think he wanted to unleash a basket of deplorables to attack op.
WTF you tagged me too. I need to talk to Sharon about cutting you off after 5 taquerays on a weeknight-- mass taggings often backfire, especially when done at 12:30 am.
Seriously, JoblessJoe is being a nicer, gentler troll than many of WSO's best and most brilliant trolls. Provocatively, I find an absence of douchebaggery coming from his trolling, which is rare for this forum. (Stubbornness, arrogance, unwillingness to listen-- sure-- none of those things make him hard to like, though.) He may even actually be a real person who isn't trolling (unlikely but possible).
The forum's big characters tend to go through a lifecycle on WSO. Take it from someone who's a couple years ahead of you in the process. For 2-3 years, they have their shtick and it's hilarious. But at some point as you grow into your role it becomes a little less funny and a little more mean. As the confused midwestern state school engineer, it was funny for a lot of folks to see me run around wondering why everyone likes Yale so much when they're #40 in the engineering rankings and couldn't place any programmers at Google. As the resident forum guru, I have to be a little bit nicer than I was five years ago, at least to the extent Yalies think I might actually be a good source of advice. I can't pretend to be the confused buffoon running around the investment bank who's fixing all kinds of tough technical problems but thinks Princeton is a welding school in Princeton, IL and Columbia College means you went to the filming production school in downtown Chicago. And the forum is going to start to hold you to that standard too. The good news is that you get to step out of character a bit more and laugh at yourself a bit more and maybe even come to some of the WSO meetups.
