Champs and Chumps
http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/04/credit-suisse-ro… How much does it matter as an associate/analyst coming out of a "champ" or a "chump" when looking to possibly move industries, go to bschool, etc. Or is it more important to just be coming out of any big house left standing after the last year (ie...

My thoughts on one year in banking...
As some of you may know from prior posts, I decided to take an offer with a small PE fund, and chose to forgo my second year as an analyst. I figured I would give my overall thoughts to prospective monkeys... First, I think IB is highly overrated. I can't believe how naive I was in school thinking...
Investment Banking vs Debt/Equity Capital Markets

Focusing on one Industry
