scary shit; what if they've never known(like befriended, gotten close with) some like you before? I've been to final round interview and felt like the MDs were just staring at me even though the younger analysts(VP, associates etc) moved me forward after the earlier interviews. I might just be bitter I wasn't successful but I felt no connection with the interviewers even though the position is my dream.

Are you fucking serious? You know that one friend that you have? Would you prefer to sit next to that guy for 100 hrs. a week or some guy you just met in an interview room?

I don't know how you come off in real life, but if its anything like your post - I wouldn't hire you.

I've noticed that this follows a formula for a common generic response that usually follows anything that criticizes anybody in an investment bank from somebody that doesn't work for one... just sayin

If your dreams don't scare you, then they are not big enough. "There are two types of people in this world: People who say they pee in the shower, and dirty fucking liars."-Louis C.K.

Dude your reply to his post isn't even relevant. What are you even talking about? He's just voicing his opinion. Chill kid.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

"THAT...was an overreaction"

I haven't had a carb since 2004.

I was stressed out yesterday, may have been a slight over reaction.
