score 1 for the CFA’s!
This stat is also correlated to the number of HBS students making lame rap videos or getting beat down by the police like a cheap NYC trannie hooker circa 1979
Your generosity knows no bounds.

@2/4 the lame rap video was by MIT Sloan students, thank you very much.

Note to HBS grad…
“Less” should read “Fewer” in your headline quote.
tisk. tisk.

@5, right, the HBS videos are like 12-hour yawnfests comparing DF to Goebbels. Noted, thanks.
@6, Vikram?
@6 we’ll need more info before we can formulate obnoxious responses, thanks.
@9 stevie?
HBS grads dont need no stinkin’ advice!
sell mortimer, sell!

2nd @ 10. Does this decision involve being forced to take female hormones or anything? Dish, please.
@6 do you have another job? As a general rule of thumb I dont think its a good idea to resign without another job and join the other 10% of Americans looking for jobs.

@6 – quit your job and wander the earth fighting evil, like the guy from Kung Fu. Or, better yet, find some other finance professionals and buy a van, travelling the country solving people’s problems, like the A-Team. Ken Lewis could be Hannibal.
@15 okay, but where do you work? a shithole? good shop? WE NEED MORE INFO.
Keep waiting, Soifer. It ain’t gonna hit 10 anytime this century. Another bull market has begun, baby!

@18 If Ken Lewis is playing Hannibal who is playing Murdock?
@ 6: don’t quit unless you have something lined up. from my inbox today: Thank you for applying for the position of ….Analyst – ….Fund. We appreciate your interest in becoming part of our team.
After reviewing your resume and carefully considering your qualifications, we have decided to pursue other candidates who more closely match the skills and credentials required for the position.
@6
Take a deep breath and ask yourself what would Brian Boitano do?
@18
epic post
…
he looks so regal…in that pic
@ 23,
Great advice. You have helped. Brian would have a hissy fit and break a glass, then pirouette out the door and leave ‘em wantin’ more.
Here goes nothing….
@6
Hooker-fucker to lecture at HBS on Ethics, priceless.
Let us know what happens. Watch them give you a fat raise
@26 thats NOTED Hooker-fucker to you.
@25/6 – Please alert Bess as you go so she can live-blog your Jerry Maguire-esque breakdown. Thanks.
I chickened out. Perhaps I will ruminate on my options over the weekend, as i catch up on a backlog of earnings reports i have to get out by Monday. Fcuk.
Thanks for the advice. True, likely not smart to pull the trigger without a backup.
@30,
Bust out of your hamster wheel and grow a pair. I hated my last job, quit(in august) and I took off for 12 months and traveled the world. Best thing I ever did bar none. I am working now at a much better job. You just need to network..
@31 you quit in august (2 months ago) and have somehow managed to travel for 12? teach me your ways.
@32 you suck, but I like it
-not 31
@32
August of 2008. You must not do well with excel.
Cheer up @6 at least you dont work for your mother in law
@ Nessy-
Shut your filthy whore mouth!
@Naked
What’s with the Circular 230 disclaimer and why do you hate working for your mother-in-law so much? (Not the first time you’ve posted such a comment)
@35 NS,
No at least I don’t work for my mother in law. Thanks, that makes me feel ok, for a minute.
I do work for a notoriously difficult person.
@TC I think the 230 is underutilized in social settings, trying to bring it more mainstream well see if it catches on.
re: your other point combine @6′s working for a difficult person, add a dash Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest (just kidding, wait..maybe a tad) combine with the fact that I am a naturally miserable, self loathing person and there you go.
@ NS,
what do you do for work?
@40 I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I’m smarter than most of the people that go here. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard, like half an equation and I’ll just figure it out.
MBAs and engineers have destroyed more capital globally than Al-Qaeda probably dreamed they ever possibly could.
@NS
Oh shit, I think I know you. Oh wait, maybe its just the reflection on my computer monitor.
You, my friend, are firing on all cylinders and I am loving it.
@42 Huh? I really really hope you are referring to some type of “financial” engineers and not traditional engineers (mech, civil, etc). If not, you are truly clueless. During the past 30 years or so Engineers or anyone with any technical background in this country have been pissed on, and all the $$$ and accolades have been lavished on know nothing, do nothing, produce nothing, MBAs and financiers. THAT is why this country is in its current pathetic state. The USA has not engineered or manufactured ANYTHING in the past 30 years besides financial instruments. Please DONT EVER compare or even speak of MBAs and Engineers in the same sentence….You, my friend, are a complete douche.
@6 – Man up and quit. That is what I did. My last boss was a real critical little bitch. And a whole bunch of assholes told me what a douche I was. So I walked and never looked back. Now on a beach with babes, writing the next great American novel.

Guest@#44…
TGFD fully agrees with you, and as a mechanical engineer, I take umbridge with the “engineers” part of #42′s entry.
BTW, I wonder how many of those 41% “market-sensitive” HBS 2008 grads are now either unemployed or are employed in some other “non-sensitive” field.
