That second paragraph..
Surprised Bess didn't put this up on Dealbreaker. I read the responses in the email, and some were great.
"FYI- for when you have to apply to you next job. Be as blunt as possible, state you have no qualities that will differentiate yourself and hang yourself out to dry. You will be swooped up."
"Are we looking for interns??"
"Looks like this guy could skip banking and go straight to PE."
"This thing is making rounds quick, GSG better call him before he gets snatched up."

Saw this a few days ago - I emailed the dude to congratulate him. His bluntness is refreshing! He'll do well from this.
My bank buddy fwd that to me earlier in the morning. Quite classic. And yes, it includes the kid's name and school.
High risk, high rewards. Definitely respect this guy's bold and honest approach.
It is absolutely ridiculous that people are crediting the author's bold approach when the most likely explanation is he simply has no idea how to write a professional e-mail. And while it's only tangentially related, I feel compelled to point out that the majority of Business Insider staffers are Epsilon-minus semi-morons.
lol this is interesting. Bet that guy would never thought getting so many calls
