To The London Massive

haha what if you're all insane or something?

if you promise you're not insane, i'd go...i suspect i'm the only girl :)

Not in London, and not yet in IBanking (summering this year), but I'd definitely make it down to something like that. Good way to find out more about everything/everyone. Wicked.

C'mon what about the rest? You better not leave me alone with fp175... Rumour has it she's a bloody fruitcake!

choose a place as far from canary wharf as possible so we can drink away our misery

are you all analysts?

nope, why, you an old-timer?

godsave, don't worry... Canary Wharf is out-of-bounds

no, I'm a noob

a noob with 205 posts? Mate, you can't put "Posting on ibankingoasis" in your extra-curricular for IB

I actually wonder what the ratio of bankers to BS-artists is here...

any other takers?

...neither. Good old "non-target" up in Sheffield. =) One of the only Sheffield boys and girls interning in London this summer (if not the only one), as far as I'm aware. But I'm studying Mechanical Engineering, so it competes and surpasses Oxbridge in many ways.

Let me know nice and early so I can plan my trip down.

Aren't you in the States?

I'll link you all

in a safe public place close to a police station...

From the ghetto....

As an engineer turned trader try not to get too frustrated with the technical skills of those around u.....

I hope that, as an engineer, it'll be reasonably straight forward to catch up with the technical skills. Am I far off?

oh i'd like to make this trip and join.

put it like this, at my bank there are more engineers than any other degree (this is trading though remember), and one of my interviewers summed it up as it was much easier for an engineer with better demonstrated analytical and math skills to catch up to the tehnical skills than vice versa.

does anyone that has posted on this thread actually work at a bank?

starting after i finish my degree in the fall

take a guess!

Everyone who attends must have a business card if they work at a bank - we are not having some psycho blag fest......

Those of you looking to break in any advice from the bankers will carry huge disclaimers...

From the ghetto....

Well it's bad enough with the interns - how do I get hired, what can I do etc.......

I'll carry my own business cards, but I won't pretend to be a banker...that should be disclaimer enough. =)

Someone I know actually used one of MY cards to get laid, they can be a powerful weapon!

And photo ID so that you can prove the name on the business card is you.

From the ghetto....

BBand, your card getting someone laid doesn't count for much if they handed over a fifty at the same time.

From his ghetto...

Passport and business card, bring it on. So, who's organising it?

I guess I could in theory, but I'm lazy like that... So far we have about 6 ppl, of which only half will bother - probably 3 students! :)

Is it worth it?

Are any of the 3 planning to attend pretty?

From the ghetto....

You took the words right out my mouth. Ladies are you hot.

From the ghetto....

...Is it just gonna be three ugly male students? =(

with all fo the pretty girls inlondon why do you need ot prospect on ibo? seriously.

I'm not much of a lady... But I'm smokin'!

so what happened to this?

Thursday/Sunday night good for anyone?

BTW, this is for people in the business only... No greasy-haired, hippie, poncy students. Thank you.

I'm down and don't worry I can prove my credentials :D, what's the date so far?

March 16th - 8pm?

Place?

ah damn it...im out of the country from the 14th till the 30th? any chance we could do it before perhaps? weeknight would be ok as well

Two week break... Definitely not in M&A ;)

If you are willing to organise it, we can do it whenever is good for you.

lol yeah N2B i'm not in M&A ;-)

Is anyone free this sunday or any other day of next week? As mentionned before I take it sundays or thursdays are the best days? Please let me know if this is the case and I will arrange something. Also if it's on a sunday, I take it we'd all like something low key?

Do I bring my contract with me if I have signed to start in June? ;) Although I'll be leaving for 6 weeks of break on the 13th (masters LSE yeah!), but you fellas have fun and post some pics...

(losing a monkey point for correcting a mistake, totally worth it!)

Remember, you will always be a salesman, no matter how fancy your title is. - My ex girlfriend

so did this thing happen?
