2 ignorant monkeys with Big4 Audit offers celebrating because they think they hit the jackpot in life and they are looking forward to great learning curve and structured promotions at KPMG that HR sold em

the rest of the monkeys learned about IB, PE, S&T, BBs, HFs just before it is too late and they are boosting their knowledge trying to make up for the years they spent fucking around and break in with that 3.2 GPA
