LOL @ Bear Stern

Robert · 03-14-2008, 03:23 PM

Analysts said the news from Bear, which came just one day after investors had been soothed by a Standard & Poor's report that subprime mortgage-related write-downs are likely more than halfway done, suggested that the full impact of the global credit crisis has yet to be felt.

What do they know.

You speak as if ML didn't write down billions of dollars in CDOs.

What job offer was offered to you? I'm curious.

ska///235i · 03-14-2008, 08:02 PM

Hey,

How do you like your job? Can you give me a little description, and the likes and dislikes? I just got into couple mba programs but I haven't decided on the specialization, and I am considering finance. I am currently a senior engineer/project lead. PM me if you wish.

willha418 · 03-15-2008, 12:38 AM

Offered the same position at Bear (Analyst) for their IBD as well. It was tongue in cheek when I said I'm glad I didn't accept the offer there

Likes or dislikes about my job?

Pros: The money is not bad. Networking is great. The people I work with are true professionals and make a great team. They are paying for my MBA. etc.

Cons: Of course the long hours. Sometimes the Associates and MD's can be real a-holes during deadlines. Not getting paid enough yet to get a Ferrari

CA state fund is hurting badly from the devaluation of housing. Thousands of teachers are losing their jobs and this all stemmed from taking advantage of the poor and poorly educated. Now, we all suffer while the people responsible already reaped the windfalls from yester-year, and will be taking a nice vacation after layoffs.

All lies... you'd have to be a fool to believe the news these days.

I say good, because it’s all greed and for instance gas demand is it’s lowest in 16 years, inventories are maxed, but oil is still going up. Something wrong with this picture?

Yes… better get out now or you’re going to get screwed.
