In case you missed them, here're some of last week's most popular topics:

Analyst Interview - Common Questions
Post By @Bodacious"

I have a partner interview at a large commercial real estate firm, and I was wondering if anyone has insights into what type of questions I should expect and how to give my best response. I have been told that questions will be mostly fit questions.

How to Get an Internship After Freshman or Sophomore Year
Post By @American Psycho"

I am back to give an explanation on how to get an internship after freshman or sophomore year. Though I am not offering any guarantees, I can tell you that it has worked for me, and it depends on the effort you put in.

MS Tech Menlo vs M&A NYC
Post By @hcet"

Whare the similarities and differences in terms of experience that one might get from these two groups?

There's Something New Flooding Wall Street
Post By @etx"

Worldwide, the ETF industry has created 4,602 ETFs, with 9,764 listings, assets of $2.996 billion, from 247 providers on 63 exchanges. Are there too many products? What should institutions do instead?

Lionel Messi Retires ... From International Duties
Post By @etx"

Messi announced to the media that he is retiring from representing Argentina in international duties. What do you football/soccer fans out there think? Is this an overreaction? Does he have to win at least one major international competition to truly be the greatest?

USA Basketball 2016 Olympic Roster
Post By @Matrick"

I do not know what you guys think, but this is not a "Dream Team". There are so many guys missing that it is not even funny anymore. LeBron and Curry want to rest, and many other players are still recovering from injuries.

What the future holds for Airbnb
Post By @mCobb"

What do you think will happen to them if the regulatory pursuits get to them? How bad could this hurt their valuation? How well could Airbnb improve the housing market for the middle class?
