If you had 100 dollars today, what would you do with it?

Recruiters & Online applications
Two quick but related questions: 1. If you want to speak to a recruiter and submit your resume to him/her, should your introductory email be "Hi, my name is XXX and I want to apply. heres my resume." or should it be more subtle and you send it once you have a relationship? 2. I know everyone says...

I know at interviews they...
WHY IBD THAN ASSET MANAGEMENT? (or Why Asset Management than IBD?)

Fraternity and IBD
I’m in the one of the best frats at my school (aka we usually hold the biggest parties and get the biggest girls).

Question regarding internships.
Currently, I have no finance experience but looking to break into investment banking. How would taking an internship in global wealth management at a large firm, such as Merrill Lynch, affect my chances of breaking into IBD in the future? I appreciate any advice!

Prestige of Lehman and Bear before they collapsed
We all know about Lehman and Bear and how they collapsed.

We were just starting college in those years and we didn't...

Do IB/HF/PE normally cover MBA costs?
I assume the former (IB) since its directly related but how about PE / HF where its a bit more meritocratic. Does the answer change if in middle office position (risk, compliance, trade tax, controller, etc as opposed to tech/IT ops)?
