Sales

add in fordham
I think "fem"botma and fordhamassmaster ought to go bang themselves as both are a couple of douchebags
And FordhamASSmaster, you ought to go back to mommy and daddy and build some credibility before you start bashing other people's careers be it in back office or wherever;. loser.
dammit, i was about to say fordham
Rutgers
What's wrong with Capital Markets?
I love kids with no social worth who think they're better than everyone else because they managed to win the genetic lottery and be born into some old-money WASPy family that can't stand each other.
You're the wad your mother should've swallowed, kid.
Edmundo put it more elegantly than anyone else but i would add fordhammaster to his own list.
+1 Edmundo.
But also, people who wear square toed shoes.
Edmundo's post is spot on...
What is wrong with you?
if its all in jest, then what's the big deal?
No way this guy is serious. Most of us have read the leveraged sellout and had a good laugh. The outlaying douchebags that take themselves so seriously that they actually take their banker prestige to heart and really think people in PWM are shitty, shouldnt be able to detract from the tongue-in-cheek humor of posts like this.
Consultants and liberal arts degrees.
People who believed in Obama for change.
State school kids.....oh wait
BofA
I should mention I though this entire thread was sarcastic--my apologies to the Rutgers kids. Those guys are serious?
....zhu zhu hamster toys
don't take life so seriously i made this thread just for fun, though some of it is true since ppl on this board like to make fun of each other, but its all in good fun. I will add consultants to the list. also capital markets blows 'cause of 0 exit ops and lower pay and sometimes its middle office work that is recruited separate from IBD. I will also add state school only cuz there are some idiots (though many state school kids like me are quite smart and hardworking). i'll also add women for obvious reasons since they burn out and go into PWM.
New List:
Back Office Middle Office Sales Shady Prop trading firms and casinos like SMB capital Crappy no name boutiques like FTP Capital Markets Jefferies/Piper Jaffray PWM Backwater offices in Asia Consultants State school kids Women
NYU Stern
cross women off the list, fordham. this is exactly what amande96 wants to hear. and add lawyers instead.
lol, why im showing up here. anyways,i dont make lists, but i do keep one, guys i am not interested to sleep with. OP you are right on.
Speaking of lists http://jaylevanne.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/sympathy-for-mr-vengeance/
lol...too funny
Fordham trash talks capital markets kids left and right yet I know of so many that have futures way brighter than his. But that's all fine and good if you actually had a job
//www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/applying-to-bulge-brackets-from-nontarget
I think the way to get into a BB from a non-target is not to be a raging dickhead
rating agencies!
Drop: Sales NYU Stern Women (credit to touchme)
Add: Trolls Aldo shoes
Edit: Add Equity Research as well...
above ground pools
Ty decarez. I will keep sales on, unfortunately its still for women n minorities and pushers who couldn't make it as traders. however i will remove women since its a bit sexist. howver i will add E.R., that is a good contribution i forgot about.

o my god this fordhamASSmaster (his new name on the board) is really the joker of all jokers someone please help me to get this complete loser off the boards as all he does is keep posting useless threads with zero credibility. i mean, of what use in the world could this or any such list provide not to mention half the stuff on the list is actually good stuff
Jefferies, what's wrong with Jefferies they are kicking ass and of course backwater offices anywhere are not great so again may i ask you what kind of total loser are you my peon of a little buddy
we all know how to hack hammermaster's account so let me at it and maybe we'll just all disable him
his posts are the greatest thing sinced unsliced bread
what a doucheturd
and again, i realize my post is long and aimed at the ASSmaster himself, but i can't stand and cant understand how anyone on these boards can even acknowledge such totally useless and baseless posts that just take up whole threads for no purpose except to propogate rumors and lies or totally obvious stuff
as for this poster, he is as good as his word - and his word is no good.
he has a history of pathetic retorts, so just for humor let's see what he comes back with and maybe that will be that i'm an idiot or that his post actually had merit
get a job you loser .
Why so serious?
Cool, man. A list. This is hilarious, dude. Are you gonna use it? Are you gonna use the list? Shit, I wish I had a list of topics enabling me to be humorous.
Nah, really I'm just being a dick because I am a state-schooled equity research salesman at Jefferies' backwater Asian office, who does some side consulting.
Where's Stern on the list? David Stern needs to be on this list.
To make this list legit, no names will be added unfortunately. However, all your recommendations will be carefully analyzed and examined by our team to see if it fits our list.
LOL I don't know whether to take this thread seriously or not anymore.
Don't forget to add Dallas, it seems to be a popular item in Liars Poker!
because this is not a hate rag and you of all people should know that brown
come on as i've seen your many posts trying to clean things up
can't have patrick on here 24x7 babysitting these immature babies that can't seem to get their asses out of the wasting time mode
the site will go under and sue to a few little pricks that don't know how to handle themselves
nite
Good God. Is this real?
Anyone who makes fun of someone for working in a middle / back / whatever office is a fucking retard. We're all just trying to make a buck.
Yacht: thanks for your contribution, the board has decided to add it in, though Dallas is a bit outdated so we will use chicago in the list. I didn't add houston since they are at least used for energy and nat resources.

fordhammaster and his dad
^how do u like FTP?
I'll be working at a prestigious place, one that you can never get a job at. I still don't show others down the way you do. Piece of shit.
equities in dallas
fordhammaster = sternmasta reincarnate?
That is what I was thinking too. Banned once, .......
You know you've been here too long if you remember that. I think it's a different person based on this fordhammaster's member status.
A lot of anger on this one right now. The whole point of a list like this is to make fun and joke.
To be honest, all of the things on the list are the less "prestigious" options. That doesn't mean they are worthless, just that they aren't as prestigious, generally pay worse, and have more limited exit options.
All else being equal, you will have wider exit opps in non-cap markets IB than in cap markets. Going to an Ivy will help you get a job over someone who went to a state school. GET OVER IT.
Personally, I have lived in Chicago (on the list) and I'm now in ER. So what, I choose them because I like them. This post is in the MONKEYING AROUND Forum. It isn't meant to provide insight, its meant to relieve stress and have fun.
Stick to the parts of the forum that are meant to provide advice if that is what you are looking for.
Great post Powermonkey, I would give you bananas if I could. I don't get why people so vehemently argue against simple facts of life. Does Wharton on average place better than BYU? Yes. But who works in IBD in a BB on my floor? BYU alum. Its about the individual and what you make of your life, and don't be such an uptight ahole not to have fun while you're alive.
^if you can keep a list than you must be easy
whether im easy or not depends on whether you are hot. if you dont see this point, i assume you dont get laid often
I would add RBS right next to PJC/Jefferies.
At first I would say no since then i'd have to add in nomura/bnp/societe/etc. but now that RBS has been CRUSHED and OBLITERATED both firmwise and new U.K. regulations-wise, I will include RBS as one of the firms to be shat on due to 0 bonuses for 2 years and the huge fleeing of talent from that shithole firm. I also have spelled out private wealth management since noobs migh tnot know what PWM is.
Thank you for your contribution.

You officially have the limpest wrist on WSO. Shouldn't you be studying for spring semester finals?
^ An ex-consultant at Accenture who now works in the IT solutions of Piper Jefferies Shanghai office
Um that'll cost u 19.99, u've piled it on heavier than most
Can I just have a T-shirt that says I'm fordhammaster? That's about as unprestigious as it gets.
I think it's quite funny...why so serious on Monkeying Around?
Mmm, quite.

now that the list is complete we can start making fun. LOL @ SALES u guys blow, u drag s&t down
Make sure to print off a copy of the list so you can take it with you to the bars...I mean dorm parties. You'll be a hit once you bust that list out and start reading from it. If girls love anything, it's a man with a list.
What a douchebag this guy is. He's like the person everyone loves to hate. This must be a joke. I seriously hope he's joking
When you state State School, are you just referring to any public University?
I'm surprised Fordhammaster left off crippled kids and broken homes.
My list basically boils down to fordhammaster.
econ: no man, i'm from a state school myself. I'm talking about shitty ones like baruch and rutgers. the good ones are like berkeley, ucla, uva, umich, unc, ut.
"I'm surprised Fordhammaster left off crippled kids and broken homes."
that doesn't relate to finance. stay on topic please?
lol why not just write
-anything that is not IBD
and save yourself the typing
