Hey, I'm an IBD guy, and was wondering why is there such a negative connotation associated with the equities desk people amongst the S/T folks? Also, at Goldman, is equities seen as the bottom of the barrel?

It depends what area of equities we are talking about. Plain Vanilla equity S/T is sort of a joke, especially sales. Equity derivs is a good area to be in though.
If you're asking what my excuse is for my grades than you'll be thoroughly disappointed with my answer.
I simply didn't care. Do I regret not getting a 3.5? Sure. Do I stress over it? No. I have a great job in the greatest city in the world.
wharton2wallstreet4lifeYeah whats with the bad rep for the equities crowd? Is that where they put the dumbasses?
For the most part, yes. Plain vanilla equities is a desk that nobody really wants to be on. The spreads are razor thin and any idiot can trade equities. Govies are getting that way also. The best advice I can give is to try to understand derivs.

I work in trading on a FI desk. I don't think I can go any further than that.

that's a pretty low gpa. I'm guessing you aren't on a quant heavy desk.
Well, I am on a FI derivitives desk. Quant? No, not in the purest sense. More math than IBD? Yes, bond math.
Because I'm not white.
