How do I know if I am top tier?

@2 Hilter Youths. Way to go there, Levin.
@1 you’re not.
Anyone have first year numbers for a painfully unfunny financial tabloid writer?

@1 If you have to ask…
€ or $/IOU/Rupees?
$45K….Can’t you make that selling hotdogs on the street in Manhattan? Joe the Plumber makes more than that off speaking engagements.

can I make a little extra cash by spying on shareholders?
@3 seriously? thats nasty
In this market, why should the bottom tier get anything? Your thoughts, kids?
I’m willing to bet these numbers will far exceed the bag of s$*t the analysts at BofA will be receiving
@16:
I personally sign off on any bonuses. For $500-$1,000, I charge a bottle of Wild Turkey sent to my PO box in Boone. I do not sign off on anything over $1,000. You should be happy you have a job, ok?
Now back to the front, coz the people are lining up to cash their unemployment checks.

I can’t believe no one wants to know about insights re: second year bonuses.
whats going on out there only 24 comments? normally this would draw 100+ comments about how indispensable the analysts really are and some witty and informed debate about what is/not a top tier college.

farmbo@25 blow me
25 The rif used to be “I’m so well educated, smart and hard working, plus Manhattan is so expensive and I work such long hours Bkln or Hob are out of the question that I deserve the world”. Now its “I’m gonna keep quiet cause thankfully I wasn’t cut. Even though I’m overpaid given that all I do is hump spreadsheets and bind pitchbooks, it allows me to stay in NY and not be an Iowa Corn Farmer”.
Comment on 2nd/3rd years???
@27 good point. fortunately 1st years are getting the 80k base they so richly deserve now for being the survivors. where would i be if these kids can’t afford corn syrup-based mixers for their bottles at Tenjune.
