VP, and 2 years out from UG? Not sure how he got an MD - my sister is at Penn's med school, they have a joint program with Wharton, but I don't know how he could have done that as an UG

Thats really impressive.

I think he meant Managing Director, not a doctor.

hahah I'm an idiot

He is indeed a managing director now:

..then you wonder why Penn's considered ibanks' "farm system"

The structure at Bear is as follows:

SMD- Senior Managing Director MD/P- Managing Director Principal MD AD- Associate Director
VP

At one of the Bear Stearns events this semester, one of the guys was a Penn grad from 2005 who's an MD already. Just wondering, but does anyone know how the hell he pulled that off?

Most of the fast risers come out of the trading/prop desk side since your contributions are very quantifiable (Eric Mindich got his start doing risk arb). If you have P&L responsibility and generate alpha with your insights/contributions/fresh ideas, you're going to move up very quickly (if not exponentially). Banking is more of a relationship driven business model so moving quickly up the food chain is very difficult (not unless you come from an overseas dynastic family where your dad happens to head a large family multinational in an emerging market that the bank considers a "high priority").

rock star indeed?

Maybe he can control the weather like John Arnold?

There are 2 Zack Michaelsons.

Other than that, good for him. I knew many incredibly smart kids when I was there, thankfully most didn't go into banking.

I worked with this guy at Bear. Very smart relative to those around him, and extremely ADD. He never sat still for more than 2 seconds.

It looks like he's now at SAC Capital. Guess he went there after Bear went under.
