If you could pick 3 firms what would you pick. (note: this doesn't mean I pick john paulson's job lol)...You just get to pick the firm.

Blackstone - met a couple of guys there; really down-to-earth people with what appears to be a genuine appreciation of what they do on a daily basis. Other two firms would be Centerview (great vibe as well) or Goldman Sachs (advancement opportunities are great, plus they seem to be genuinely concerned about their analysts). Guys at KKR seemed awesome too, but I'm not going to get in from undergrad.

"What is your dream job" (Originally Posted: 02/10/2015)
recently was asked this question in an SA interview for IBD, and was caught off guard by the nature of the question. Wasn't quite sure if the interviewer was looking for something finance related, or just interesting, so I threw out the idea of possibly owning a hockey team later on in my life, as hockey has always been a passion of mine. The interviewer laughed and ended up really liking that answer, and we spent the rest of the time talking about hockey and I ended up giving him tips for his fantasy hockey team... so I guess it worked out.
Curious to see if any of you have received this question in an interview, and if so how did you respond?
This is a loaded question but a good one. I'd ask it since I want to know what people really want to do or just what they like. Let's face it, people don't grow up wanting to be an investment banker (when I was 3 I wanted to drive garbage trucks because they were big, made cool noises and the guys that hung off the back that came by my neighborhood were super nice and I thought they took turns hanging and driving). . Your story is an example of someone fishing to see if you have a personality. rehearsed answers give me a huge pause and I'm usually bummed to hear them.
Other times they might want to hear something vague, like "being impactful" or "making a difference" or whatever that means, or "witnessing transformation" so then you could say you are/were unsure exactly but like banking would be cool since it finances stuff. Like google/facebook for financed and raised capital right? or someone had to finance the buildings/roads etc, right? etc etc. It's kind of BSS-ey or really so, but that's what some people want to hear.
For example
I remember interviewing for a 1st year analyst position at a boutique ibank a long time ago and I mentioned that I had been to China and traveled to the frontier, way out west in China. The interviewers definitely got excited and asked what I liked the most. I said something like "the ethnic minority culture and social/ethnic diversity since China can seem homogenous at times" Their faces fell and one of them definitely looked up at the clock to see how much time we had left (20 minutes, FWIW). I know they wanted to hear BS like "rising disposable income, new upcoming services/products, infrastructure being built out etc and that's what ibanks/markets finance" etc etc. but I just counldn't bring myself to lie about it.
Nowadays (many years later), I have given a more general answer, and refer back to my 3 year old "dream" job which usually lightens the mood and brings about a laugh from both sides (I then flip the question to them). Or something like that. It makes everything more human. In the cases where the person hasn't been chill about it, well, screw it, I probably wouldn't want to work with them any way (it's a two way street).
You can answer this like "where do you want to be in ten years" but I like the above approaches of taking about a hobby/passion as this may be the only opportunity to bring it up.
You can always answer "a professional (insert hobby)".
I just want my name on the front door.

If you could live in your 20s forever what would be your dream job? (Originally Posted: 06/13/2013)
?
Assuming substantial capital?
Clothing designer. I wouldn't even give finance a glance.
Clothing consultant for me. Buy clothes for rich people. I would love to have all my clothing bespoke.
clothing model
Assuming money weren't an issue, I'd probably look to be an international tour guide. Not the kind that gives you the history of all the different buildings in a city but the kind that leads you on a hike through the Amazon.
Seriously, 3 clothing related jobs in a row?
Pro PGA golfer, play an abbreviated schedule (15 events), shoot for $2mm a year all in w endorsements, and travel the rest.
Or tinker on antique autos.
Clothing? WTF?
I would say rock star or NBA player.
Porn star?
Jk. In all seriousness, forever is a long time. Assuming I had perpetual youth, my dream job would probably look something like this: spend the next 200 or so years accumulating wealth (IB would probably not be as bad if the hours never took a toll on your body. Once I did that, I'd probably spend another 50 years or so writing these stupid book ideas floating around in my head. After that, maybe a park ranger and enjoy nature for, say, 100 years or so. After, hopefully technology has advanced far enough that space travel is possible. I'd then spend the next 100 million years exploring our universe. After that, who knows?
Assuming money isnt an issue, I'd like to be involved in either films or sports. I'd happily be an intern for like a major sports agent or perhaps work in the league office of the NBA or something.
As an alternative, I like the idea of being able to travel so something similar to CompBanker would be great. But less hiking and more frequenting various bars and must-see sights.
Yes.
travel guide, what compbanker said
I'd do my own version of Man V Food.
Jesus, I think I'd want to do the same thing: generalist equity research at a hedge/mutual fund. It's literally what I do now if I have time to kill, and I think it's the only thing I could do for 5+ years without losing my mind.
Or maybe some sort of wine-related marketing/CorpStrat job. I'd say winemaking, but my palate is awful.
Really this is all you guys could come up with. If you are going to be in your 20s forever why not take risks and do something that might kill you.
I would be a formula 1 driver.
From what I gather in this thread, the majority of people do not want to do finance. Not a big surprise, though.
As for myself, rock star in Asia. That way, you can still have your peace and quiet in the states since no one really knows you.
Part time pron star, part time park ranger, reserve military officer, performance guitarist
filmmaker. or open up a brewery.
Astronaut. Writer. Physicist. Serial entrepreneur.
a lamer but younger version of anthony bourdain

Definitely pro athlete. Preferably NBA because even though I like football more, if I play football indefinitely by forever-20 body would be wrecked beyond all repair.

President of SEIU, or California Teachers or any CA labor union for that matter.
These guys get paid high six figures plus cadillac benefits plans plus defined benefits pension plans so they never ever have to save for retirements, plus ability to raid the pension funds at their own discretion whenever they feel like at, all of these and much more and you only need to pretend to stay awake for 2 hours per day and can spend the other 6 hours at work sleeping at the desk, like this guy:

DAMN, what high school did you go to? Ours were definitely paid in the 60k range, definitely not six fig.
I went to a top regional public high school. I never took the AP Econ course offered, but my AP US History class scores beat all of the private high schools test scores.
Main reason why the AP teachers get 6 figs is because all of them have their Masters or semi-retired after getting out of a good job. I know that the teacher for AP Chem and AP Physics (she thought AP Physics was too easy and made an AP Advanced Physics class...da fuk?) was a top chemist for Colgate.
And by 6 figs I mean like 100-180k.

It also needs to be privately owned by me, because shareholders suck. 5) Some sort of cult/religious leader where all female members have to be my sex slave.

Honestly you can say NBA/NFL/MLB player. But I think the pro athletes with the best long term outlook are golf players. I'm assuming here that all pro athletes love their sport. I mean if you watch those retired pros in their 40s and 50s you can tell they miss playing. But golf players never have to quit. They can play until they die. It's not like football where once you're done with the NFL you never play again. Golf pros can just play the game their entire lives even long after they stop competing. That must be worth some happiness I'd think.
That's true. I don't watch golf, but how much money do they make compared to NBA players? The all-star and above NBA players make at least 100 million dollars in salary. The top guys make hundreds of millions in salary. When you factor in endorsements...Even the mid- to upper-mid-level players make close to 100 million in salary alone.
PTJ's MD in charge of PE, Tudor Investments The Private Banker to a Middle Eastern Sheik/ Chinese Oligarch CEO/ Founder of Major REIT Fund The Captain of Larry Ellison's Yacht
8-12 million dollars per year over the course of 8-10 years (2nd and 3rd contracts) is "close to 100 million on it's on. Factor in 2 or 3 years at a lower salary, and you're well within that neighborhood...which is what I said. I didn't say lower-level player. Assuming that they don't have career-ending injuries, mid- and upper-mid-level players easily make that amount of money.
The vast majority of players don't get anywhere near that. Average salary in the NBA is like $6 million a year. However I'm not talking about money. The original question was what jobs are most 'desirable' on a long term basis. It's a vague question. However I'm thinking in terms of happiness. Sure, the average NBA player will make much much more money than the average PGA golfer. But the PGA golfer will be able to compete at the highest level for much longer. Once they're done with the PGA Tour they can do the Seniors Tour. Then once they're tired of that they still continue to play the rest of their lives. Once you're done in the NFL/NBA/MLB you're just done. Golfers never have to stop playing barring major injury. That to me is 'desirable'. Everyone is obsessing about money but I'm saying what if you can do what you love to do until you're buried? Golfers can.
I hear you. The "vast majority" probably don't, but I didn't reference the vast majority. The "average" number takes into account all of the people who I didn't reference (rookie contracts, lower-level players and over-the-hill veterans). Even at an average of 6 million dollars per year, lifetime salary could easily be approximately 80+ million.
Guy: What's your salary? 1st year analyst: $28 million Guy: What? You're making $28 million in salary in your first year out of college? That's amazing. 1st year analyst: Well, actually, that's what I hope to make pre-tax over the course of my career, assuming everything plays out as expected. Guy: Riiiiiight.

enron mid 90's hands down - or really any commodity trading role as the merc and chicago board of trade started up. Spreads where fat and the few players involved absolutely ran shit.
Entire markets got cornered way back in the day. Not saying it was honest or decent behavior - just a good time to seriously hustle the onion farmers and make a killing.
i had a very short experience with commodity trading via an internship at the nymex at the copper pit in '06 - amid the housing bubble.
I visited a buddy there a few years later and the place was literally a shell of its former self as much trading went online via tablet instead of hand gestures and open outcry. I'd still cut off a toe to work there - in terms of market access and dynamics of a daily job there is no better job in my opinion.

I can't think of many better experiences then working with Rockefeller as he took over the United States' economy. Honestly, though, there are plenty of firms I'd have loved to work for in different areas:
-Nike: Advertising, starting in the mid-late 1980s [experience: can you say MJ?] -Microsoft: Finance, mid-late 1980s [exp: building the technology industry] -Google: Finance, late 1990s [exp: building such a broad company from the ground up] -Pictet e Cie: Private Banking, early 1960s [exp: be a part of Switzerland's turning into the center of the world for political - Cold War neutral - and financial reasons] -JP Morgan: I Banking (?), mid 1890s [exp: financing US Steel Corp -Morgan Stanley: I Banking, 1950s [exp: GM, AT&T, etc ) -Paulson & Co: Hedge Fund, mid 2000s, especially 2007 [exp: calling the subprime mortgage crisis] -KKR: Private Equity, Late 1980s [exp: RJR Nabisco, anyone?]
I could keep going, but I think the picture here is success often equals a good experience. Though sometimes it doesn't, I guess
I would also put Napster and Myspace in there...
