Very cool article.

Although the kid who's at Citi pisses me off just by looking at him. He has that sort of smile and face that screams he has an annoying personality. Also, black suit + hand in pocket + selfie is NF.

We need to go back 20 years...to when hazing was acceptable.

Mods,

There's a bug in the new layout lol

This is pretty cool, these kids will learn to privatize their twitter and instagram accounts soon enough.

If you click in the article you can access their instagram profiles -> exactly what everybody tries to avoid when cleaning up social media. hmmmmm...they should think twice about posting as an INTERN

Stupid of them to post these pics online, with the company logos and all.

Also, guy in the first pic has a punchable face. His color combo pisses me off as well; he must be in IT.

The blonde chick is pretty decent

The girl interning at MS that's posting about her "#swag" is in compliance according to her name tag. She has no swag.

The girl at the law firm is hot though.

Posting anything about your work on a social network is such a tool move.

Stop fucking bragging and get back to work

These guys are such tools...showing off and then complaining on social media..pathetic. Good read though

While some of the people shown seem pretty cocky, I don't understand all the hate. Some people like to upload all the parts of their lives for the world to see. People upload pictures of themselves studying, dicking around, partying, eating dinner with family, basically all aspects of their lives. An internship is most likely going to be a major turning point in their lives as they transition from college to the real world. Is something wrong with taking a picture and placing it on instagram or Facebook where you essentially make a timeline out of pictures? People post statuses about anything and this seems no different.

Bitching about work on Twitter while mentioning both your real name and your company name is not the smartest move I've ever heard about.

every time I open a new tab in safari and it shows my top sites, the first kid's picture is staring back at me... fuck.

The swag bag works though. At least it did for me back then

Article doesn't work anymore?

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney? Unacceptable unless ur a freshman

At least they are not boasting through social media as much as my Vemma and Herbalife friends.

These are obviously non-WSO users lol.

What a bunch of pussies; less than a week in and they're already bitching.

"Wall Street" internships? I don't believe any of these people work on Wall Street. All non-IB too.

fuckinghashtags

I've got more than a few social media connections that could have been featured in this article

Saw this a few days ago. It gave me the vibe that this guy thinks Wall Street interns are try-hards and overly nervous. Idk maybe you guys thought differently.

I'm not the one to brag,boast, and/or share much when it comes to social media. But I don't really see anything wrong here, young adults who are excited about their start in corporate America sharing it with their social networks. Tell me if i'm wrong here but I believe WSO has brain washed a lot of you guys, and made you believe group-thinking is okay.

Btw, it seems like these kids feautured in the article are the ones who live their lives freely and still make it to a BB, without giving up their friday nights to enhance their modeling skills .

Personally, everyone of those kids are idiots for mixing work with personal social media. I don't care how many followers you have or how much your mom wants to see your cubicle - your work for a professional services firm and your reputation is all you have. If I were a FT analyst or associate at any of those firms, I'd definitely pull each kid aside, tell them to delete their posts, stop acting like idiots, and get to work.

If I were a manager, this is an easy way for me to start populating the bottom bucket of the summers.

some of them realized to privatize their IG accounts :D

Nice outfit guy in pic #1. LOL

Honestly, I wish I could be one of them. Okay, I'm not... But the pictures are cool!
