iBO Winter Newsletter

Dear Fellow Primates,

We keep getting forced to upgrade our server because too many monkeys keep eating too many bananas at once. Please update your Profiles -- we added an Industry selection to your Monkey Stats page so other monkeys can know what industry you are working in. (click on "my account" in the top left box, "edit", then "Monkey Stats")

On with the announcements:

  • #1. New Jobs. The site now has a bunch of new attractive finance positions in our Jobs section at http://www.ibankingoasis.com/jobs. All you need to do is submit your resume and youâ€ll be on your way to swinging from a new branch.

    A few recent Jobs you might want to check out:

    • Private Equity Pre-MBA Associate – NYC
    • Corporate Finance Analyst – NYC
    • IB Associate – Chicago
    • IB Associate, Consumer and Industrials Group – Chicago
    • Top Tier Investment Banking Associate – NYC
    • Real Estate Hedge Fund Analyst - Greenwich, CT …and more

    If you would like to post a job and reach thousands of qualified finance professionals please contact [email protected].

  • #2. Recruiter Database. Now all you need is 10 bananas and you'll have access to some of the best recruiters for finance jobs (used to be 15 bananas). Remember, you can get 10 bananas immediately just by inviting one of your fellow monkeys sign up (all of this is free of course).

    If you are a recruiter and would like to be included in our Recruiter Database, please contact [email protected].

  • #3. Face Lift. We will be giving the site a new look within the next couple of weeks so that the orange / yellow that we currently have up there wonâ€t make your eyes bleed anymore.

  • #4. We leave you with some poll results from the last quarter:

    • More of you think that staring at a monitor for 18 hours a day is worse for your health than eating a bacon cheeseburger every day
    • 24% of you said varsity athletes are better prepared for iBanking while 34% of you said they are “definitely not.”
    • 54% of you had to work on MLK day and only 19% got the day off for President Fordâ€s death
    • 24% of you had to work through the SuperBowl this year
    • Only 16% of you will definitely make it out of work this Valentineâ€s Day to have dinner with your significant other…the other 80%+ better buy some nice flowers.
