The Job Hunt_How's It Going

Maybe I should just give them a link to this forum, with some of my more colourful posts highlighted....

I think that my utter destruction of Kaak would go on there. Have to come up with some other ones.

EDIT: almost forgot about the Poly intelligence ranking thread

Yeah, that one will get you the job

Such an unerring judge of character

[KrazyHorse]

I wasn't judging people's characters. Just their mental penis size.

There are many people here who have better characters than I do.

Another point in your favor.

[KrazyHorse]

Precisely.

i've given up looking for a law job, i'd have to move to another city in the UK and i'm not prepared to do that. so my current plan is to sell my ice cream vans once the clocks go back and play poker to sustain me, until i've learnt enough portuguese to emigrate to brasil.

At least it's a plan.

I had a real informal interview with a partner at a managing consulting firm yesterday. He told me they weren't hiring until the end of the year, but that they really liked my resume and wanted to get to know me to see if I would be a fit, and after the interview he told me he really thought I would be good. I thanked him for lunch/interview and that even if nothing were to come of the opportunity I really appreciated being considered and would definitely like to become part of the team.

That was that. If nothing else, he invited me to linkin with him, and he seemed like someone who was going somewhere so that might be a valuable contact to keep up with.

Got another interview with Goldman in a different division (this one's Derivatives Analysis, whereas the first group is Investment Management). Unfortunately, I've heard it's frowned upon to attempt to get two different divisions from the same company into a bidding war over you.

[Japher]

So what do you do?

[KrazyHorse]

I just carry through with the interview process. In the unlikely event I get offers from both groups I'll inform them of the other group's interest, some manager guys from the two groups will talk to each other and they'll harmonize the offers in terms of compensation. At least that's what I've been led to believe happens.

Bought a nice suit yesterday so I can go talk to the Booz Allen rep on Monday when they come through for on-campus recruiting. Don't know if I really want to do management consulting. Too much travel and too much bull****ting.

This would be a great time to get into Goldman. They probably won't have a round of serious layoffs for 5 or 10 years.

[KrazyHorse]

I think they're on a hiring binge. I know through one of my friends here that they hired a friend of his from Columbia just recently. My other friend who actually works for Goldman hasn't responded to my email asking him for advice. He may be under interdict to not give advice. Otherwise, he's just rude.

Or busy bailing money and stacking it in the barn.
