Need former? Greenwich Partners is looking for an investment analyst and describes your would-be compensation as “outstanding,” so that’s nice. Drunk unemployment more your speed? Another Pink Slip Party is planned for next week. Wednesday, December 10th at M1-5 (52 Walker Street, Tribeca).

First!!! @2 Eat it…
Bess like me to eat it
Well, this proves my point. Is everyone as much of an asshole in real-life as they come across in the comments?
If so, why the hell would I wanna drink with any of you fuckers?
I hope the recruiters that show up to this one do a better job of answering their phone and emails than the ones that were at the last one
up over 300 points today – PPT on a roll or what??
Can someone post a link to the thread with photos of the Wideclops/ the posting about her?
were there any cute girls at the last one?
cute? who says cute? cute is a fat chick with nice eyes
There were no good looking girls at the last one. It was 99 percent guys and of those 5% were recruiters, 30% were reporters and camerament and 65% unemployed.

Just so everybody knows; the last pink slip party sucked cock. There were camera crews everywhere asking people about how much they used to make and how broke they are now and I didn’t encounter a single recruiter. There were some people from THELADDERS.COM which is like Monster of Hojtjobs except Ladders thinks that you’re stupid enough to get information that’s available for free. SAVE YOUR TIME: THE PEOPLE WHO PUT ON THE LAST PARTY WERE SCUMBAGS.
@3 I am guessing you do not work on Wall Street, if you need to ask that question.
Just so you all know
My life used to be so great.
I was so proud of myself, my parents were so proud. I had worked so hard.
Now I don’t have a job. I didn’t do anything wrong.
I put in so many years studying and trying so hard. And I had worked so hard to get the job I had.
And it’s all gone.
Recruiters don’t call me back. I don’t really have any friends left since I spent the past few years working such crazy hours. I emailed and have contacted them all anyways hoping for any sort of a way to get a job.
I drink on the weekends. But I’m still just as depressed when I’m drunk. I didn’t just pick this career for the money. I really do love finance and economics.
It’s all gone. My job. I just don’t know anymore. For a while you know I could laugh at the jokes because I could relate. But what am I going to do?
This was my life and now it’s all gone.

wow, that was depressing
be thankful you have family and your health. you could be getting your water from the same streams that cows shit in and having to steal to eat. get some perspective.
#17 – just go forward, move on dude. If you want some fresh perspective and still want to work in economics, try working on a fishing boat for 1 year. Lots of fresh air, hard work, happy drinking at the end of the day, and you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the catch-to-cull ratio and how it applies directly to the amount of intelligence, effort and determination you put in to the job. At least you could have some comfort in knowing that it’s an honest living and your skipper is not going to take home 4,000 times what you make.
@14 I dont see how fundraising for a charity that helps KIDS WITH CANCER makes people SCUMBAGS. If you have a better idea, do it yourself.
@17 Come by on Wednesday to M1-5. See what happens.
@15 – you are correct. I work in the financial markets, but not on Wall Street
@16
Its a job in a line of many in your life. Your get another one believe me! Just take the journey to the next one and your be that much wiser.
Just put on the mask of confidence and go get it!
@14 At the last one, there were easily 100 recruiters and headhunters.

@17 – JUMP or stop bitching about one bump in the road!
poor me, ahhhhhhh!!! we all worked hard, larry.
a few thoughts, that are best kept in mind when things are good, but don’t hurt to reconsider when they’re not:
1) you should make sure that your life is more than your job. And don’t tell me that that’s impossible, given the hours that you work. That’s just an excuse. In NY a lot of people fall into that trap, allow themselves to be defined by what they do. For instance, I’ve had people walk away from me at parties in mid sentence at those times in my life when I had a sucky job and no words could make it sound even passable.
2) you should realize that we all play in a high stakes world: no security, big rewards when things are good, crashing problems when they’re not. So plan accordingly, make sure you always spend less than you earn.
This is a cyclical industry to begin with. Network. Join LinkedIn. Consult if you can. Thank everyone for their time. Appreciate that there is a time to every purpose under heaven (everything that was neglected when you were working late) and reconnect on the net.
