Yes, I have noticed as well.

But again, this is another online message board, filled with finance nerds who think they're Chad's. What do you expect? I feel like there are only a handful of people on here that I would want to meet in person.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

how does it feel? to constantly feel like you are being oppressed, you have to voice it on an online message board full of naive college students? I wonder how it feels to live such a life.

 

So, you two felt called out enough to reply but not brave enough to show your nickname?

Kinda proves my point, doesn't it?

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

I agree.

Then again, never supported invading other people's communities to force my creed. That tends to go in line with those claiming to support universal values for the good of mankind.

How do people make it into finance while being socially awkward, wouldn't people like this be weeded out in interviews? Genuinely curious

 

From my understanding, they often are. But the better school they go to, better grades they have, better internships, better technical knowledge, etc, the more awkwardness they can get away with. It’s a big factor, but it can be offset by being super qualified. Plenty of finance guys from targets are huge nerds. I’ve noticed that non targets tend to almost all be charismatic, probably because the nerdy non targets never got offers.

This is the absolute worst

"I go to a target but I can't seem to find the link, can someone PM me the link to this target-only hirevue?"

 

Every week there's at least one new post comparing Kelley to some random ass Semi-target/Target school that blows Kelley out of the water in terms of placement but the comments are still full of Kelley boners saying "go to Kelley no question"

 

It’s mostly North America and India if I remember correctly from Alexa.

Of course people here are socially awkward. Almost everyone I've met in this industry has been a fucking weirdo.
