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

 

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

 

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

 

Previous thread was a movie, kid took down his linkedin now too

 

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.

 

allegedly some kid was emailing bank HR depts w/ screenshots of racist messages to get other ppl rescinded

 

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
