I wonder how game Frink is to mention who he really is- would he want future employers to see him post here and know who he is? Most of this forum know who I am and where I work, but frink on the other hand is using the internet to withold his identity. If he reveals himself, at least this way we'll know who he is when he attends recruitment events at our respective firms/IBs.
We don't look down on people who don't follow the same career path as us. What we do look down on are people who think they know everything because they read the paper, "associate" with ex IBers (how old are they anyway?), trade shares and attend uni (curious- what course/uni are you doing?), etc...
That last comment you made about dreamz was just rude, disrespectful and unnecessary.
It's difficult to tell if you're being this cocky and overconfident because you know your future employers won't ever realise who you are, or because you really do think you're God's gift to IB.
I couldn't resist to rebut this little gem one last time
"Attend recruitment events at our respective firms/IBs?" Show me the document that says you are an employee of these corps, and I'll give you my soul. Are you a recruiter?
Seremify007, you speak like you hold yourself in such
high authority...
This is what I mean by these 'cadetships' going to your heads. Just because you have a nice academic record, and are able to tag along at these nice shiny corporations, it is alright to talk down on people like myself. If I go by your sig correctly you were still a
scrawny year 12 stressing about exams just last year? Heck last year, I chose to learn from real investors/traders who have gone beyond the corporate world and are doing so much better managing their own financial livelihoods.
Personally to me, you seem like the
typical spoilt brat mummies boys, who wet themselves when they get into the real world. Like I've said, it's not just book smarts, but street smarts are also attractive to employers. I like to call myself a user of both.
My main point is that, it really is pointless to judge me without even knowing...you really have no idea of the various ways to get industry exposure/knowledge beyond the Big 4/ Big IB world you only know about. I'm not trying to sound like I have a grudge against the corporate world... I do wish to get to the corporate level in the future. Perhaps even a cadetship god forbid. But I will not seem like I'm better than everyone or talk down to others who have taken other unique paths.
If you actually look beyond your fat cranium, I was including the accounting vs. IB banter to talk you stale people up. Because all the threads I've read on here are as pink as an ass kissers bottom.
I'm sorry if I rained in on your tea party forum. But you have to learn how to deal with people like me. I believe my style is a leg up on the usual bulldust you hear from ponces with impeccable uni marks.
Don't accuse me of having no morals, manners or integrity... being raised in a business environment, and liasing with customers in the IT industry has taught me a lot about mutual relationships in business.
It really is only an agression I have towards stiff lips like you. But when it comes to being professional, I like to think I have some idea. I love it that you
judge my personal traits, and potential failure with recruiters on a few posts I've made at a forum packed with teenyboppers... I've only joined in the last couple days, yet you seem to post like Ian Macfarlane and Peter Costello combs these forums every day.
Do you really think I hate CPA/CA's with a passion? My dad and I deal with them occasionally. And they certainly don't hate me. It's a business relationship. I don't kiss their ass.
I said, I don't really see the point in advertising myself, but if you must perhaps try and compare 'my penis with your fat large corporatised one with massive authority' then: The ex IB'ers I associate with; some are heads of trading floors at broking houses, but the particular one I was talking about was a 28yo ex Mac bank dude, who has his own successful investment company, managing quite large portfolios - of which me and my father currently have some investments in . These guys aren't the juniors or recruitment agents you like to rub shoulders with. They have been there working hard and have used their experience there as a launching board into a sucessful independent financial career.
I go to a uni in Melbourne, majoring in Finance and like I've said a million times,
I don't think I'm gods gift. It is very much the opposite, as you speak like you own me just coz I'm different to your average punk 1st year. I really don't think you guys are so special or see why you think this forum is so special, but the way you talk to each other is hilarious. Spot a little game of croquet at the country club, old chap?
I've actually taken the effort to
shy away from a lot of the corporate BSer's who think they're top because they are up there with the 'big boys' -
but instead aligned myself with those members of the community who have successfully built up themselves up. Not ride on the coattails of corporate utopia.
Cheers.
