Successful Blackmail Achieved
Post By @Fear The Bulge"
The last thing I truly remember from two weeks ago was that I was watching the election results roll in and they called Wisconsin for Trump. Subsequently I had such a hardcore week-long celebration bender that I totally forgot about showering, the internet, and everyone in my life. Somehow when I came to, there was a new TV in my bathtub

Use Thanksgiving to Set 2017 Goals
Post By @Eddie Braverman"
For about the past 25 years, Thanksgiving weekend has been the four most important days of my year. Not only do I love everything about Thanksgiving (the food, my family and friends, and the pervasive feeling of gratitude regardless of circumstances), but for me, it is the most natural time to take stock of where I am at relative to my goals and to get a jump on the coming year.

I recently moved from Big 4 Audit to a top MM IB (Blair, Jeff, Baird, HL) after 1.5 years in Audit.
