And I thought interviews weren't rigged

StryfeDSP:

Someone got dinged.

There is a subtle difference in the past and the present. Obviously your assumption is one of the present.

Angus Macgyver:

If you interview as well as you write... then I can see why you didn't make it through your interviews.

Why so serious son? We can't be perfect all the time, can we?

Absolutely spot on. Playas play

Well, as I drifted from one interview to another I quickly realized even the interview process is rigged in this world haha. I've been declined opportunities on the following premise, quote " we had a referral from the CEO ::)" I've had experiences were they jumped gun and called me with someone else' name like they were expecting to hire the individual already. This entire corporate interview process is, to put it in a soft perspective bull shit. None of it is actually a legitimate way to weed out the bad from good as anyone that gets through the door is already qualified. Competition is so fierce and it will get even worst as some of you young ones get through college. You need to start building your brand and show actions. What have you done? NOT, what will you do! The only TRUE THING that makes us different from our competitors is the distance we are willing to go. Good luck!

Ha. The bullshit doesn't stop once you're hired. Working for a massive global bank means that the borderline retarded 22 year old ex-sorostitute HR whore that is only going to be there until some unfortunately potent trader is dumb enough to bareback her, gets forced to put a ring on her, and now has to pay to set that case study in herpes up in a crib in Connecticut where she can spend the rest of her days getting fatter than she already is while pretendng to take care of Sammy "Shitty Call" Suarez Junior, the unfortunate fruit of their drunken, sweaty union in the handicapped bathroom during last year's shitty Christmas party at an overpriced midtown bowling alley, actually does have some serious say in your bonus.

Anyways, It's bullshit forever and always. The FT offer isn't exactly a golden ticket to the promised land where all your cares melt away as you skip through a field of wild roses. It just means you have to deal with a whole new level of bullshit.

The game doesn't discriminate though - it is, was, and always will be play or get played. If you throw your hands up and call foul play every single time you think you see some perceived injustice which you can't support with any objective facts, you're not really cut out for this industry. No faster way to third rail yourself in banking than to arbitrarily/unfairly/unnecessarily claim people around you are knowingly dishonest. You;ll never get forgiven for that one.
