Nice. So you basically cut Stephens.

I imagine the pissing contests are plentiful within that crowd. I also imagine the burn out rate for those guys is extremely high. Almost better to start off boutique in a way.

Are you interviewing or just living it up?

Badass. Is this something you're pumped about?

I have an odd set of circumstances where I already have a place, so I won't move up everything until October probably. Rent for the next two months is going to be brutal.

So, what area did you go with? midtown?

Damn, Stephens is getting major snubbed by the MT crowd. I wouldn't have thought. They're a pretty big bank by any measure.

Also, the sector focus probably lends itself better to exit opportunities with companies within the industry (if you wanted to go that route) than does just someone who happens to cover that industry (likely, because they were assigned to it or it was the only position available) at some generic bank.

Nice lynx! Congrats on that.

I posted that a while back. The culture at bridgewater is definitely one of a kind.
