And who closes with "Peace and Love" anymore.
This is more of a Left Coast farewell greeting.

@25 and @30: same poster I presume.
Been there. Done it. Actually recruit and have friends at many of these schools (and they share my views, however sarcastic I was in presenting them).
You seem offended by the sarcasm. I am sorry for that and for you - the truth must hurt.
@28 said it better than I could. My only true advice for the "friend" is to 1) put things into perspective and 2) put down the Kool Aid pitcher.
You career is what you make of it. You might make great friends at B-School, but it will not change your life or who you are.

I believe she was the Chief Investment Officer, not the CFO.

Research is dying. It's the worse place to start, IMHO. One day you're covering a handful of names, the next you're out because of "strategic" realignments in coverage.

I would shoot quail with the Dick Vader any day of the week.
Heck, maybe we could shoot a terrorist in the face from time to time.
One thing is clear to me: this man knows how to handle a weapon. I easily see him manning the bazooka or directing field artillery. Maybe he keeps SAMs in his WY ranch.
Respect the Cheney, douches. Respect.

Truly sad. As former analyst, I can relate to some of the posters concerns. Many times, analysts put up with is way too much bullshit from petty, insecure assholes on a power trip.

I have friends who are CFAs, mostly in equity research.
What's your motivation for taking the test?

What I'm asking, Richards, is what YOU plan to do with your CFA? Blog for DB? Work for a wealthy English eccentric, valuing exotic assets?
@4: I agree - L2 you're so screwed...

W-Rich,
1. She's smoking hot. Over 40. Married into old money, now divorced. And bored.
2. "Exotic" - well, well, well... Now this is where the imagination should run wild. Think coastal residential real estate, in far away places. A sort of portfolio of trysting spots/properties.
To all you crammers, this should be sufficient motivation.

Vik will stay. Vik is a good dog that does what he's told, without complaints or leaks a la Ken Lewis.
The Fed is Citi's primary regulator. Lack of commercial banking experience at the top is irrelevant. The head of the Consumer Bank - firmly entrenched in Bair's world - is a commercial banker.
She-Bair and Vik hate each other, going back to the Wachovia deal that wasn't. C still hasn't gotten over it. People still complain about it, specifically about the She-Bair. The Pandettes hate the She-Bair, intensely, and judging from the WSJ piece, it seems they have gotten under her skin.

Lorello was a super star banker with Salomon Smith Barney back in the day.
Pulled the same move on Solly when he jumped ship to UBS - he even took the analysts with him!
Does not surprise me he's doing it again, now with Jefferies.
Why Jefferies? Guaratees, better commute, American pride. Whatever reasons, JEF will be a superior Health Care shop because of him.

Not bad for a TARP recipient.
In 2005 (the beginning of the bonanza), these were the top tiers:
1st yr: 60K
2nd yr: 80K

This is pathetic. Send my congrats to the "friend".
Did a pretty good job slurping up all that Kool Aid, deceiving herself into thinking that business school is somehow going to change her life. The only thing that's changing is the balance in her bank account - that number is going down. And, the number of people she's going to be sexually active with - definitely going up.
Excited for the years ahead?
Yeah, sure, who wouldn't be excited for the US$90K a year you'll have to fork out for this "Kolledge" experience at CBS!
