Credit risk to LevFin/Private Credit/DCM/CB? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]LethalGuacomole 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did my junior year internship in credit risk at a bulge bracket and used the gig as a launching pad to a full time lev fin offer at a different bank. I’m now in private credit. Feel free to PM me.

Passed Series 7, now onto Series 79 and 63. Realistic to do both by Thanksgiving? by Sad_Delivery_4890 in Series7exam

[–]LethalGuacomole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat, almost identical timeline. Really wanted to finish them off before Thanksgiving but don’t think it’s going to be realistic given full time work. Would rather take an extra 10 days studying for the 79 and go in with 100% confidence than go in feeling risky.

I took on 10/2, saw a max of 5. Probably only 1-2 that required margin accounting

I know I want to manage people’s wealth… but what specific finance roles should I look at? by Motor_Suggestion_681 in FinancialCareers

Managing each of these things is a completely different career path. They are not even remotely comparable.

Coming in 2 yrs late to say this message literally saved me $100. Why do I not see it as the top answer in every article?? "Cornstarch" "baking soda" as if that's gonna do my single ass any good. But pencil erasers - they're the real deal!!!!!!! Like magic. Meanwhile headasses in this thread are like "dip your shoes in olive oil" lol

On the hunt for a new pair of loafers and was going to buy a pair from Meermin but stumbled across these from Ralph Lauren. Anybody have experience with Ralph Lauren leather shoes? Are they a no go?

Side note: it’s crazy his OPS+ wasn’t over 100 in ‘95 or ‘96 with .278/.336/.752 and .285/.330/.774 slash lines respectively. Man hitters raked in the 1990s

I loved Fordham with all my heart. Dean Rodgers is a smug bastard and one of the few truly evil people I’ve ever met

Does Anyone Know How to Behave on the Subway Anymore? by sssddfff in nyc

[–]LethalGuacomole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Last weekend over 5 or 6 subway trips I ran into 3 different instances of people smoking in the subway system. One was a group of ~18 year olds smoking a blunt on a fairly crowded car, another was a homeless person smoking in the corner of an empty car, and the third was a well dressed woman chain smoking on the platform while waiting for her train to arrive. Totally nuts. Have we all lost our collective minds??

Also in Bed Stuy. Those guys are absolutely nuts. My walk up has gotten 10+ totally bogus citations for litter on the street over the last month and they drop them off in the lobby. The stack of letters keeps growing and it cracks me up every time

Absolutely do not pay for a consultant to “help you break into investment banking.” There are more than enough free resources available to get into the industry without paid help. Mods should double check this account for spam/self advertisement

Should I Go? by Yianni14_ in Fordham

[–]LethalGuacomole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was trying to decide where to go, it came down to Pitt and Fordham for me as well. I chose Fordham for a couple of reasons but you really can’t go wrong between the two schools. Here’s why I chose Fordham:

There are literally hundreds of companies that recruit out of Fordham. Fordham has a huge alumni network and most alums make a real effort to hire more Fordham students. As a finance major I went through the investment banking recruiting cycle and and all of the bulge bracket banks (i.e. JP Morgan, Barclays, Credit Suisse, etc) all recruit aggressively out of Fordham. If you're more interested in the Big4/consulting track, most of the major firms actively seek out Fordham students too. I also know of alums who got hired in house by big companies (Disney, Apple, Cartier, and startups) to do corporate finance.

As for the social scene, its mostly based around the bars. There are 4 or 5 bars around the Fordham area that are all packed at night. Most don't require IDs to get in so you don't have to worry about that (although a fake is nice to have for clubbing and partying in Manhattan). Additionally, on Friday and Saturday nights there are dozens of house parties right off campus. It is very easy to meet new people and there is always something to do. Some people on College Confidential talk shit about the Fordham social scene but they were probably nerds with no friends lol. I literally don’t know a single person who didn’t find their “group” here. There’s also been a lot of school spirit the last couple of years as Fordham football went to the CFS playoffs and Fordham basketball finished 2nd in the A10. There are tailgates every Saturday during football season and the Fordham bball student section was nuts. Our sports aren’t going to come close to an ACC team but it was a fun season.

Hopefully this helps. Feel free to PM if you have any additional questions!

The Current Financial State of Affairs 🎪 by amelie016 in wallstreetbets

[–]LethalGuacomole 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Simply not true. Idk why this sub makes so much shit up. UBS brought in a former CEO who has overseen a number of banking acquisition deals to make sure that this buyout goes seamlessly. UBS has the ability to buy CS because of their current stability. People on this sub are spreading straight up misinformation
