don’t to to vandy and have no stake in this but someone prob threatened legal action (as anyone would in this scenario), but tbh new threads are already up and will probably keep coming idk
Dudes a bitch and can’t handle it when people try to cancel him lmao.
In all fairness, that was really the only play left in the book.
what happened?
You missed the biggest witch hunt lynch fest in wso history bro
the man is practically on WSO death row 😭
fill me in asap
Guy from Vanderbilt with a PJT (private capital) offer was supposedly going to the HR of firms other people had offers from with texts/messages etc, trying to convince them to rescind - supposedly lots of the message were actually fabricated. Indian/east asian male, from a notoriously backstabby NJ high school, apparently - deleted Linkedin.
Genuinely nuts, no proof though I don't think
What happened? Mods deleted everything
Is there any evidence or actual proof
Followed all threads so far. No evidence or anything resembling evidence posted.
Same - Vandy alum currently on the street and trying to get to the bottom of this. All of our group chats have been going crazy for the past few days. Looks like everything is coming from Intern in IB - Gen who might have personal beef with him
in one of his clubs - seems like others' have intriguing evidence but still rolling out
What have you heard so far
It got redeemed
do not redeem
dude single handedly ruined the rep of brown dudes on the street
lots of people just having an excuse to show their true colors imo. he deserves the personal hate if its true but gotta feel bad for any brown dudes now
.

What happened?
Previous thread was a movie, kid took down his linkedin now too
.
Where's the proof of that?
Where is the proof that kid was sending snapshots and if they were fake indeed?
OP has been pretty open at Vanderbilt that they are the one who posted it. Also, allegations of the kid revoking others' offers had been circulating on Vanderbilt fizz and finance communities weeks before it ever made WSO.
Can confirm that's what my buddies at Vandy have told me
What happened? Vandy is a great school and everybody is usually quite nice/helpful to each other from my experience
allegedly some kid was emailing bank HR depts w/ screenshots of racist messages to get other ppl rescinded
That sucks, love my friends here and it really just makes things look bad on both ends
That is crazy, it is never that serious 😭😭
Did anyone take screenshots of the thread before it got deleted? I’m so angry that I always miss these threads before they get censored.
lol….so no one is going to summarize what this is about?
..
Ignore title, VP/Principal so a little tenured
Is this level of gossip/sharp elbows/"finance group chats" (lol) normal in recruiting nowadays? When I was in school like not that long ago, ppl generally understood that if you have a 3.7+ and some internships you'll get a BB/EB or Bain/BX/Bridgewater. Honestly don't think I know anyone who ever was sharp elbowed during recruiting...I went to a T2 target - Dartmouth/Columbia/Penn - maybe that was why? I did know Cal and NYU were like this.
This whole thing is crazy.
These roles have been popularized and glorified through social media + excess spillovers from rough job market in tech/med/engineering fields has led to this current terrible state
