Hey everoyne, so i recently just began reading WSO regularly, and I have to ask: just what the heck do all these acronyms mean?! I'm trying to figure out what people mean when they just type worked at EB/MM/BB and stuff. I recently just learned IBD = Investment Banking Division. So let me in on this secret and type in literally any acronym you can think of.
Edit: Yup, expeted to get shat on.
