I just bombed my final round interview...

[PlasmaBomb]

Job like what? We have no idea what he even does. Probably makes bunny slippers.

Makes bunny slippers do what?

for bunnies with pancakes on their heads.

Very stressful job that... bunnies accept nothing less than perfection and want everything done yesterday!

 

[Magusigne]

Congrats. I bet you get the job.

It was just a stress test. You were doomed to fail in one way or another. (Ph.D candidacy's are typically like this), they keep probing until you cannot answer.

Have a fun summer!

 

[Cstefan]

That sounds like a great company to work for...:hmm:

THIS. There are better places to work than with someone who treats you like shit as a first impression.

I'd laugh and walk out on you, and have.

Real Answer for the $1,000,000 question: "1 Million? LOL, fuck that, i would have found some way to leverage the bank into an incredibly risky short term bet, collected the bonus, jumped to another bank in a couple years for a raise while the original bet blew up in your face. It's not like the risk management team actually has any power to stop me, we'll have the shareholder/taxpayer pay for everything and everyone above me collects their bonus anyway."

 

[SLCentral]

And...I got the offer!!!!!!!!

No idea how, but I guess I just handled the stress better than the rest of the applicants. Only 10-20% of the final round candidates got an interview, and only 20% of first round got to the final round. Feeling pretty great right now!

We knew you would. Congrats.

grats go drink the bottle for me or your carefully rolled cigar.

 

[arcenite]

Congrats! :biggrin:

Those would be exactly the kind of job I'd tell them I don't want. Having a high stress job sucks. I've been there and don't want to go back. It takes it's toll on you and can really screw up your health and your relationships. A job isn't worth that. I've told interviewers as much.

 

[SLCentral]

did u go to cornell?

Yes...you too?

 

[nanette1985]

Congrats!

 

[Minjin]

So give us a ballpark estimate as to how much the offer is.

 

[skim milk]

Thanks. It is for a summer analyst position for Sales & Trading. Company is a very large, prominent bank that has seen a lot of exposure to the media over the past few years.

I should find out today. We'll see what happens...

Awesome. S&T is a good place to intern in.
Internships are really viewed as an extended interview process so companies are more lenient. FT recruiting tends to be harder but you should be able to land a full time offer at the end of the internship.

 

[Goosemaster]

congrats

Your attitude screams both success and happiness. Well done.

Now its time for the hard part:

not forgetting to wear pants on your first day

amen brother

I'm doing the interview process again now and I freaking hate it. They either treat you like cattle or you get some Red Bull'd up freshy who thinks he's going to change the world.

I think sometimes I'd rather do things gladiator style. Put us all in an office and let us battle to the death using nothing but office supplies. I'm pretty sure I'd go for the stapler and air duster combo.

 

[Kadarin]

Congrats! And... I told ya so!

 

[AlienCraft]

You are lucky she didn't come back with a gun and shot your balls off.

Disgruntled pre-employee?

 

[SLCentral]

So give us a ballpark estimate as to how much the offer is.

Standard rate for all bulge bracket banks...$70k prorated for 10 weeks, plus $1k relocation stipend.

No complaints.

 

[chronox]

Congrats! How's the campus looking these days? I haven't been back since 2008...

 

[Fingolfin269]

I had a feeling after reading the OP that you did much better than you gave yourself credit. Awesome man, congrats... now go update the OP.
