    Best Casual Job?

    If you look like what you look like in the picture (though I suspect you don't since you are 'male' and it seems the bird in the photo is holding some sort of gold logies), you'll earn a lot more than $25/hr.

    NYTimes - "Why I am leaving Goldman Sachs"

    Not a banker/trader/sales sympathiser. Much bigger money elsewhere. But I must say, one guy's opinion out of 60,000 at a firm is not very representative. Mark Latham's comments probably have more truth to them.

    Equities Research at a BB firm?

    In my very very personal opinion (in case you think I'm having a stab at you), these people must've been royally f****ed these few years to not have saved up anything/invested that they'd have to go to say a big 4 TSA job or something like that. HK places are size of garbage cans. Been...

    Ah yes too late Newbie. How's life? What have you been doing with all these $$$ over the years? Flip any of them?

    Equities Research at a BB firm?

    It's because at a grad level, people don't know what they should be doing. If I knew what I knew now, I'd have done things a little differently. Probably would've been on to much bigger things now. How's it different to people who get in to say law/medicine/big 4 because they think there are big...

    Equities Research at a BB firm?

    Certain research is where you want to be. Make big $$$$, types bankers and BBs can only dream of and perhaps a few like Wylie achieve it in Australia.

    Does it matter what uni you go to for Law?

    Not sure how some of you can sound so authoritative when you haven't set a step in to the real world.

    Does it matter what uni you go to for Law?

    Does it matter how much you get paid? Well I guess if it did you wouldn't have done law in the first place.

    UBS investment banking challenge

    Helped a couple of kids with it last year. Only really worthwhile if you know what you're doing or have help. Otherwise you'll produce a pile of garbage.

    What is investment banking?

    Jobs have never been easy to find in HK, let alone good jobs and let alone in a down market. Reality is life goes on, people will still get hired, people will still get a job somewhere. Getting in or missing out on something "high-powered" (whatever that means) like investment banking is not...

    What is investment banking?

    Insto banking is typically a much broader division in a bank, and can sometimes encompass investment banking. Sometimes they're separate - it's all about power play in an organisation that's all. Does the ib head of a particular division want to have the report through the insto head and can he...

    Please help me make a decision :( ... its killing me

    Maybe it's a calling to do something else. Don't take it as a loss, see it as an opportunity to explore something else in life. Remember, if you're good, the dots will connect (variation of what Steve Jobs said).

    Uni of Melbourne or Monash Uni?

    Yes and Melbourne is one of the best universities in Monash. It's like eating apples but not oranges.

    What is investment banking?

    HAHAHAHA Omnipotence - that video is so funny. A mansion and a plane by 30 by being a banker? Gee some people are deluded. Try "By 30 I will have the 50% deposit for the crappy Chatswood (NSW)/Richmond (Vic) $1.5m townhouse and can work another 4 years to pay it off" Woohoo! Pathway to...
