Summer Interns-- Be Ours!

It’s almost summer and you know what that means—DealBreaker is looking for one or two lucky individuals to be our interns and, if you play your cards right, it might just be you. Basically, it boils down to willingness for, nay a passion to excel at, picking up Carney’s dry cleaning. Are you man enough for the job? If not, please seek alternative employment via the DB Career Center. For those of you up to the task, read on.

This internship-- we’re actually pretty flex on what it entails and what we’re looking for. You should probably have a vague interest in finance, perhaps some writing experience, and tendency to approach the line of breaking the law without actually crossing it (or not involving us if you do—I do not have bail money). It would be nice if you had a sense of humor and felt good about ghost writing some stuff for us on the days when it’s too nice out to do much beyond sit on the roof deck but, again, not required in the least, as your superior talents would probably be fun for us at first but ultimately lead to massive depression and abject self-loathing.


The position(s) is open to the college-aged or over. If you recently had your weekdays cleared, do not hesitate to get in touch. In fact, should you be interested, we’re thinking about starting a new column called “My Summer o’ Severance,” wherein you, our very special intern, will have the opportunity to regale the crowd with stories of how great it is to have the freedom to hang while everyone's at the office, or to talk shit about your former employer, anonymously or not anonymously, completely up to you.


So. Anyone who wants to get a piece of this should email us posthaste at bess at dealbreaker dot com with the subject line, “Yes! I am interested in having the most kick ass summer ever, or an only mildly painful one at best.”

My writing sucks anyhow.. I'd probably get fired for cursing out the anonymous 'Grammar Police'.

Unless Dealbreaker wants a 'Wall St. Fashion' piece... Queer Eye for the Finance Guy LOL

I'm a former MD in structured products at a bulge firm. I just got hit in the latest round. I'm pretty good fetching coffee. I also have decent quant skills, although my math kind of cost my ex firm $10 billion or so. I would love to intern with dealbreaker, and believe I can make a good contribution.

@10:30 Are you old? In my experience people have been getting their own coffee since the mid-90s. I've noted a strong correlation beetween expecting your coffee to be fetched and not knowing how to work a PC (except in the most rudimentary way). Comments?

People who don't get/make their own coffee usually boss groups that lose over $5 billion.

Remember all that horse shit about "we pay you too much to make your own coffee.."? Ha.

Mr P,

If you saw how the wrong coast straight guys dress in the mornings... you would make it your mission to address this crisis in fashion disasters.
