Just curious, what's your beef with Barclays? I seem to recall snide remarks on several occasions. I always laugh though. The people I worked with from there on the research/strategy side were reasonably helpful.

When you work in this field long enough, you have friends at every major firm and my friends at Barclays are the most miserable by far. It's almost universal with the guys I know.

Have you ever heard a joke tht's pretty funny the first time you hear it, but by the fifth time it's kind of irritating? Often, by the time you tell it one hundred times, it starts to get funny again. That's what Barclays is to me.

 

This is dumb. Most of us have connections with college students who are "CEO & Founder of XYZ". It doesn't get anymore famous than that.

Only one of those three still has a job. I'd stay friends with them!

But you could imagine what it'd be like if they did!

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
 

[quote=John Daggett]Has anyone noticed that most CEOs have only minimal profiles with no connections? Carl Icahn even has the wrong years for his education. SOMEONE PM HIM TO LET HIM KNOW! JK LOL!

We can all only hope to be successful enough one day for people to want to make fake Linkedin accounts in our names.

[quote=patternfinder]Of course, I would just buy in scales. [/quote] See my WSO Blog | my AMA
 

I don't have him / know if he even has one, but on my older Facebook, I'm friends with alex blankfein (one of the sons) who I had met for 45 mins through a friend lol. been trying to find him on linkedin ever since but i highly doubt he has or needs one haha
