Its like I came here last night looking for career advice, but I got nothing but disrespectful comments, monkey shit thrown at me, and offensive statements.
Are people on wallstreetoasis genuinely this rude?

Bump,
Yes.
Deal with it. There's a lot of immature, insecure people on here (as there are in any field where there's a huge ego payoff for success), but in some cases the rudeness is because of stupid questions.
It was just one simple mistake, but thank you for your honesty the people here can tend to be so hostile.
And your question and responses were stupid.
I was just looking for pity, at the time of my downfall/
I'm sorry that you made the mistake. But please, the others here are also your competition and are working hard. Just move on and don't make the same mistakes and be more prepared next time.
Not to mention more careful. Nothing you can do to fix what you've done.
Everyone makes mistakes, get over it. If you thing this website is "tough" or "rude", I would advise you to reconsider your career path because Wall Street/Banking Firms will eat you alive and spit you out. If anything, learn from the mistakes and remember to not make the same one again. It makes you bigger and stronger as an individual and as a professional. This type of competition process is what separates the average scrub from the true hustlers that want it. It's up to you to decide who and what you want to be. Remember that.
You're not getting pity for fucking up, especially when it's minor, you're not going to get an interview at Lazard, there are a lot of other banks out there. Stop being melodramatic.
You know people will just give you monkey shit for this post. The irony
Alright, thank you for the helpful advice.
Totally what I needed.
I'm not being mean, but you were simply asking for monkey shit to be thrown at you. 50% of people on this forum come here to troll or blow off steam.
WSO isn't a place to build friendships- just saying..
That said, I gave you some ms for my own entertainment, sorry.
here comes the monkey shit barrage...
....
Dude, go home
Why would you say such a thing?
Because you have no friends. No one likes you, and your breath stinks.
To be fair, and I didn’t follow the entire thread, I don’t really know what advice you came here and made that post for anyways. Okay, so you misspelled Lazard on your cover letter. Not a single person here can tell you if you’re screwed or not; its just a bunch of speculation. I realize that you feel attacked, but I’d say that you should keep in mind that people here have read up on every aspect of networking/applying/office etiquette/etc. and seem to appreciate if other people do the same before asking questions. Not justifying any rudeness just explaining why some people might seem a bit agitated at what appears to them to be an uninformed question, about an issue that you probably could have avoided by reading up on the process on your own. Anyways good luck buddy. I’m not going to comment on whether or not you're screwed because I have no clue. My 2 cents: find something you can control and focus on that.
Thanks
Bump.
What are you looking for now?
Integrity.
Well, people are being "rude" because the reason you couldn't secure the offer was your mistake, and your response to your own mistake was "please give me some tissues." Just use this opportunity to be more careful and alert on your new job. You realized that small mistake can cost fortune. Learn from it and don't let it repeat. Yea sure it sucks, but that's life.
Yea yea yea
Dumb troll
You suck ass, kid. Learn to type. KYS.
Yea well I hope you never break into Private Equity.
How Rude!
So just curious on how you ended with Lizerd and not even like Lizard lol
Like I said I was rushing and the stress, the name Lazard clouding my brain so I put Lizerd because it sounds similar....
.
Do you regularly skip proof reading your work?

Can we just have these threads deleted? It's descending to the most petty of bullshit.
JoblessJoe needs to be put into his place...
most people on here have the emotional maturity of a kid on xbox live. I love it.
If you dont have anything good to say dont say it.
Everyone gets a lot of monkey shit when they come here initially. There is a bit of a culture in WSO and people act a certain way here - you'll get the hang of it after a while. Monkeys generally don't act this way irl.
Lol, how immature.
well if you go on a forum or some subreddit, you will notice it has its own "culture" too
It was Union Bank of Switzerland, not Banking. Now it's just UBS. Show some gosh darn respect, son!
What are you trying to prove by degrading me?
If I had to form a quick opinion of you based on first impressions, I'd assume you're one of those millenials that hundreds of clickbait online articles are written about every day. Personal failure is a completely alien concept to you; getting up off your ass and brushing the dirt off your shoulders is something you've never had to do; sense of entitlement to others' pity and empathy for your own fuckups; & etc. Same as that other person who ran in here to complain about "toxic masculinity" and got their lily white ass handed to them (or "xe" or "zim" or whatever pronoun they prefer to go by).
The real world is not a bunch of Buzzfeed typists getting triggered and misgendered by evil white cis-male scum. It's rough and tumble for us real human beings, and after going a few rounds in the octagon with the rest of us you will grow a thicker skin and typing Lizard instead of Lazard won't trigger your PTSD. I somehow still have a sliver of faith in humanity, and I'm confident you'll get over it.
Again, I don't know you. I glanced at your other thread for about a minute and I don't know you personally, so maybe you're an alright guy otherwise.
