  • Let him take three days so if he finds out down the road that he made the wrong decision, at least he can say that he thought it over long enough.
    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

    • Well, from my knowledge, Goldmans are one of the more brutal investment banks to work for...

      Didn't you say you had an interview with Morgan Stanley? Far more civilised IMO.
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

        3 days to decide what group, Jon. I have two options.

          I see you are not sufficiently Canadian to get my excellent joke. Then again, I'm not really sufficiently Canadian to be making the joke in the first place.

            • Do you have smart personal resources within Goldman to whom you can ask questions regarding the two groups?

              Which group had the people you thought you would get along with better?

              Really, this is the type of problem that you love to have.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              • Yeah, I've written to my friend at Goldman (he's on a desk in London).

                The people who I was interviewing with kept calling it a "high class problem"...

                      It was a well delivered joke.

                      • I lost my voice this weekend, had a cough leading into the weekend and attempted to drink through it; that didn't work. So, I lost my voice, and have been scheduled an interview and spoke for about an hour with a "real" recruiter for very specific jobs in my niche, much better than the other ones. Still, it was tough to sound convincing without a voice.

                        KH, which did you take?

                        • I made up my mind about an hour ago. Need to call the relevant people, but I can't find their business cards right now. Might have them at home.

                            • Just informed the guy I was rejecting. That was awful. I've never really had to say "no" to anybody before about something important like this.

                              I feel good about the decision. I also feel really good that I've actually made the decision. Time to convince myself that it was the obvious right course of action.
