Can we give a hand for this guy? He consistently posts the most down to earth, well thought out comments on here that bring a broader perspective outside of the tunnel vision of a lot of folks here. Incredibly refreshing amidst the sea of KKR/TPG, money is everything, greed is good mentality that permeates much of the discussion here and I've never seen an unclassy post from the guy even during arguments

I-L-L!
I-N-I!
But yeah, illiniprogrammer seems like a really good guy. When I get to NYC in July I'd much rather hang out with people like him than guys who just wanna waste cash at clubs.
His contributions are noted.
Although, I think I add a bit more value to this forum.
I usually reward his contributions with silver banana's.
I'm a fan. His views on many things are different than mine, but I like that he expreses himself in an informed and nice way. And when we agree...it's great. Seeing someone in banking who has a more modest view of success is a breath of fresh air sometimes. I love my cash, but I understand other views and I think some people need to see them.
Good to see some midwest reppin being recognized, big ups!
fan boys ?
u jelly?
I always wonder where he works. Definitely seems like one of the most knowledgeable people on this forum.
If you follow his posts, I think it's pretty obvious where he works (I'm not going to out him though).
But yeah, big props to IP... it's always refreshing to hear his take on things
My only gripe with him is his insistence that "quality" business threads can be had from JC Penney and Men's Wearhouse (and other retailers of that ilk). If I fancied dressing like a circus clown, I would agree.
Aside from that, seems like a decent dude.
Let's make a thread like this for everyone so no one feels left out.
Starting with Blastoise.
happypantsmcgee seems to be very knowledgeable as well...I enjoy his youtube links
HPM are you feeling left out? I just bought a brand new ass bra, if that'll cheer ya up...
PS- Illini, you kick ass, thanks for the help/advice and I hope you stick around and keep it up!
Illi programmer is definitely a medium swinging dick.
Bahaha, thanks guys. Wish I was there to finish the ILL.
And yes, I am probably a MSD. It's not how big it is, it's how you use it. :D
he is my future wife
illini is cool but at end of day he's still a mid office risk dude at barcap.
When did middle schools unblock forums on their computers(
I'm just posting on this because almost everyone got a SB, i've never had a SB. want a SB : /
IlliniProgrammer is my daddy
