This list was clearly written by a angsty Highschool freshman
I would be impressed if the average GS/MS/JPM analyst could name all of these funds, much less a high school freshman.
Op here, I’m actually a rising soph at Wharton. Can I pls intern at GS. I can name 200 other hedge funds.
Congrats on Abdiel and Thrive

I love when people make these so I can throw shit at it
In my day, men used to fight trench warfare. Now they argue over prestige tiers on Wall Street oasis
Deutsche bank over RBC is crazy
Me coming to this thread: Oh I didn't know Stern was that goo- oh okay
