"The Scorch Trials" offers nearly no character development and only hints of plot promotion, mainly simply functioning to transfer an organization of obliquely-inspired characters from one spot to another without giving much hint where the whole thing is headed. Steelers Lounge.

What would you do if you weren't in finance?
I think we all have those days where we want to pull a Chris McCandless and go be a mountain man. If you weren't in finance, what would you do?
I have a knack for extreme stuff. I think I'd get my free-fall skydiving certification and PADI certification and maybe do that stuff. I went skydiving for the first time this summer and it was a fucking thrill - definitely something I want to do again. Another crazy item on the bucket list is to shark dive without a cage. With that said, I think I'd maybe instruct courses in those areas if I wasn't in finance. Or do some personal training, but I think that'd be a tough living financially.

Considering transferring colleges - Which schools should I be looking at?
Hi,
I'm a sophomore Finance major at Lehigh University and I'm starting to realize I'm not happy here anymore. The school has such a focus on Greek life and partying, I'm feeling less and less like I fit it. Also, I'd like to find a school that has heavier recruitment in IB.
I'm obviously not set on transferring, but the idea is crossing my mind.
I have a 3.60 GPA here, did well in high school (2110 SATs, graduated 6th in my class of 300+).
I'd love to transfer to Georgetown or Cornell. Vanderbilt, Emory, and USC all seem to have fairly lenient transfer admission req., so they might be reasonable too.
Would these be feasible? Which other schools would you suggest I look into?
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Interview Question: "What is an Investment Bank?"
A common interview question is "What is an investment bank?" or "What does an investment bank do?"
How do you prefer interviewees answer this question?
Do you want just a high level overview, or extreme detail?

Energy IB Exit Opportunities?
Hello,
If I were to work in Energy IB (probably in Houston), what would the exit opps be like?
I assume that an analyst at a decent IB could exit into HF/PE/Corp Dev, but would all of these jobs be in the Energy industry, or are generalist firms or other industries (consumer, tech, etc.) hiring people with Energy IB experience? A lot of my connections are to the energy industry, which is why I'm asking about Energy IB specifically.
It's fine with me to work in Energy IB for a few years, but it's not something that I want to be doing long-term.
Thanks for your help!

PE Recruiting: S&T --> Cap Markets --> Coverage (GS/MS)...how would it work?
Long story short: I started off on a prop trading desk at a top BB (GS/MS) out of college, realized it wasn't for me, and transferred internally after my 1st year to IBD in a ECM / DCM role and re-started as a 1st year analyst, and eventually made the move to a coverage group as a 3rd year analyst. I've been fortunate enough to have been staffed on large, major brand name M&A deals (2 of which have announced), and I was wondering how I would go about selling my experience to PE firms.
Given that my background is far from the cookie-cutter profile that headhunters / PE firms are used to seeing, would I have any shot at all in getting PE interviews as a 3rd year? What would be the best way to message / package my background to the headhunters? Would I automatically be eliminated from interviewing at some of the more established mega funds / MM PE shops given that I won't have 2 years of experience within a coverage group?
Realize that this is a grey area so would appreciate any feedback on how to navigate this..

FT Partners
Can anybody who has interviewed with them for FT provide some color on how long it takes for them to get back to you post superday? The interview process seemed more loosely structured and spread out timeline wise thats why I was wondering.

How to do an engaging informational interview
Hi everyone I'm a sophomore. Couple of days ago I went to NYC networking event and got some business cards. Now I want to contact these people and do informational interviews with them. But I don't know how to smoothly carry the conversation in a engaging and non-boring way. Questions such as "Why did you choose this major""How did you get into xx bank" are really boring, so I want to try to steer the conversation towards hobbies, interests, and other non-work related stuff. But how can I start these topics, by asking "What do you like to do outside work?" What if I don't have much to talk about his/her interests? Can anyone provide some experience and tips on (1) how to make an engaging, non-boring conversation (2) how to avoid the situation that we both don't have much to talk about ? thanks

Finding fall boutique investment banking internships? Is it too late?
Been cold calling and emailing boutiques for spots open. Got a few responses and was hyped. Got an opportunity, but it was too far from where I go to school/time conflict. The rest never really panned out due to not having "enough capacity in the office."
Has anyone successfully landed an internship at a boutique in september/october without any connections? Any recommended places?
This is in NYC btw.
Thanks monkeys

Symphony as a replacement for Bloomberg?
Symphony, the messaging tool poised to rival Bloomberg, is set to be released tomorrow . The startup has raised capital at a $1 billion valuation from various investors including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America and other financial services firms. Here is the description of Symphony on Goldman Sachs website:
Symphony is a Goldman Sachs-led industry initiative to build a cloud-based, compliant platform for instant communication and content sharing that connects market participants securely. Tailored to the needs of the finance industry, it will let companies bring all digital communications onto a single platform, allowing for more robust interactions between employees and clients. The platform is based around an open source business model that is cost-effective, extensible and customizable to suit end-user needs.
Symphony is hoped to be a replacement for Bloomberg's messaging product because many banks don't trust Bloomberg with the security of their data.
Big banks once worried about Bloomberg reporters tracking their staff through their terminal log-ins. Others worry about Bloomberg's data sharing policies once they're contacted by investigators. Goldman Sachs is in the process of moving to Symphony for its messaging and JP Morgan is rolling out Symphony in phases, sources said.
What's your thoughts on the viability of such software? It seems like a real threat to the Bloomberg messaging system because so many banks have invested in it, and according to the BI article, many top investment banks have been using Symphony in limited capacity for almost a year now. But how big of an impact can Symphony make to the industry? Is Bloomberg's position damaged after the release?

Power of Managing Directors?
Undergraduate going through recruiting currently. I know a few MDs at some BBs who are willing to help me with my internship hunt. I go to a target school(top 3 finance) but my GPA is 3.3 which is not very great. I have decent internship experience and leadership. What do you think my chances are assuming the MDs put in a good word for me?

DCF for a company that has historically invested heavily in Capex?
The capex for this target company has been high in recent years is due to building a new facility(poultry production/processing), however its a rather "mature" business. If historically(last 3 years) has all been abnormally high capex, how should I incorporate this into my DCF? I was thinking I can stretch it to 7-10 yrs instead of 5, however would like some feedback from those in the industry. thanks!

Purpose of Recreating DCFs by Other Investment Bankers?
Hi fellow monkeys,
At my summer internship, I was asked to recreate DCFs of certain companies that other investment bankers had already done for shareholder litigation purposes. I never asked them why I was doing this, but I did hear the associates say that they were surprised by the previous investment bankers' models.
Is it a normal thing for investment bankers to recreate other investment bankers' models to make sure they did not make any obvious mistakes?
Thank you.

Holiday vs. New Job (dilemma)
I have an offer from an IBD bank. I will be starting in October. Before the offer, I had already purchased a ticket for Asia (1week holiday) as there is a wedding I need to attend. - for the start of January 2016.
As it is the start of my job, I am in a dilemma as how I should word it or when I should tell the firm. Should I tell it after I sign the contract, or the week I join? or should I leave it to after? What would be the best approach?
Let me know your thoughts.
