Meredith Whitney: “The details of your incompetence do not interest me. Tell Simone I’m not going to approve that girl that she sent me for the Brazilian wax. I asked for clean, athletic, smiling; she sent me dirty, tired and paunchy. And RSVP yes to Vickram Pandit’s party, I want the driver to drop me off at 9:30 and pick me up at 9:45 sharp. Then call Natalie at JP Morgan and tell her no, for the 40th time, no, I don’t want synthetic condor/long eagle spreads, I want long punts filled with AAA ratings. Then call my husband and remind him that the parent/teacher conference at Dalton tonight. Then call my husband. Ask him to please meet me for dinner at that place I went to with Larry Kudlow. Also, tell Richard I saw all the pictures that he sent for that feature on the female investment bankers and they’re all so deeply unattractive. Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender, female banker? Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really. What about that Debrahlee person in Dealbreaker the other day? Also I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gundlach’s second business try. I wonder if he’s lost any of that weight yet?”
Qualifications are “Experience: 2-5 years” and “3+ years experience”. Whoever wrote this is due for a whipping.
@2 The wife made me watch that one, too.
@2 I love you.
makes me think of The Devil Wears Prada….
thank you ma’am may I have another
@4 – Didn’t get the ending. Why did she quit?

MW: Sue Ellen, have you ever had a 48 hour orgasm?
SE: No I’ve never gone dildo testing with Gundlach.
Should my cover letter include my safe word or will it be assigned at the interview?
@ 5 I love you more than 2… I’m just saying
I’d take it just to get closer to her husband. What a hot piece of man meat he is – and you know MW has already broken him in.
The Gay Banker
Meredith is first seen after Bond wakes up in Vikram Pandit’s private jet after previously having been knocked out with a tranquilizer gun. Her stunning blonde-framed visage leaning over him being the first thing he sees as he lies on a couch regaining consciousness, the dialog runs as follows:
James Bond: Who are you?
Meredith Whitney: My name is Meredith Whitney.
James Bond: I must be dreaming.
i’ve got 3+ years experience directing incoming calls effectively AND efficiently.
Koewe should apply. He could probably bang out a lot of reports for her
There’s no mention of a safety word in the posting. That’s too hardcore for me.
@13
Guess I”m not the only one who watched Goldfinger this weekend. Also, @2, great effort, but MW should have read http://www.leveragedsellout.com/2006/05/how-to-get-a-banker-chick-for-the-non-banker-guy/ re: banker chicks.
@NS, nice DTMTBSD reference.
Must be able to recite the names of all the current WWE “wrestlers”.
Given my pedigree, I feel that I am qualified to apply.

I AM Raymond James……HIRED!
@6 – Agreed, but at MW Advisors, only if the assistant’s name is Prada.
-Guy who hopes ZK will not give MW his IP address

MW’s wedding announcement = priceless
A week after their initial meeting, the couple went out. They enjoyed talking so much they lingered over dinner for hours. ”After that I called her about 25 times a day,” Mr. Layfield said. ”Meredith came along at a time in my life when I really needed somebody badly,” he added. ”She took a country boy like me and kind of refined me. I know what fork to use now at the dinner table, and I drink my beer from a glass.”
That refinement process, Mr. Layfield recalled, was set in motion on their first date, when he asked Ms. Whitney if it would be acceptable to wear jeans and a sleeveless shirt to the restaurant.
Damn, after Zach Kouwe found out where I ‘worked’ with my IP, I might have to apply.
What does multiple functions mean?
@Anal_yst stop sucking everyone’s dick and apply already. Everyone at the company gets an equity stake, true story. I’ve been told she has a soft side.
