I got my first call couple of days ago from a HH - Still in my first job out of Uni. Going to meet someone for a "coffee". What should I expect from them? and what would they expect from me?

<t>Volatilityswap - Im with you on this one. In a similar position myself. A year behind you (2nd year analyst M&A) but unlikely to do a third year. Am seriously considering MBA - difference I guess, is that Im planning/hoping to work in the US for a while. If I was going to stay in Europe I wou...

Do you mind me asking who its with in Ireland. There really aren't any IB's (int he "traditional" sense).....more trading firms, asset managers, hedge funds.....

<t>Hi All,My CV needs a complete overall since I was last sending it out. Id really like to see some examples of good CV's (that have successfully gotten jobs). Would people mind posting (or PM'ing me and emailing) what they consider a good CV template.....obviously Im just concerned about the templ...

<t>the "why now" Im not entirely sure of. I don't think this does have anything to do with Al Q'aida and the changing landscape of terrorism. Political ambitions in N. Ireland are stronger than ever. Maybe is just a case of a final awakening that violence and criminal activity are not achieving the ...

<t>Quotehmmmm... should I start an affair with that cute colleague or not? So was it offered on a plate?and did you??Anything unrelated to dating/sleeping with bosses/colleagues....because to be honest, if you were asked that question in an interview would you reply that your dilemma was whether or ...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: TraderJoeOn behalf of Bernie Ebbers, Ken Lay, Martha Stewart, every American President and every CEO who's ever lied and/or cheated his/her way to the top, I resent this line of questioning .What I want to know about is the little people.....everyday the wsj is crammed ...

<t>A friend of mine was recently asked at an interview - "whats the most challenging ethical issue you have encountered". It got me thinking, I dont think Ive ever come up against a major "angel on my right shoulder devil on my left" moment in work. Or perhaps Im being naieve and I simply perceive a...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: NamelessWonderah the 100 hr IB jockey.I sincerely recommend that you take a sample test. see how you score.Cheers namelesswonder. When you say sample test....are there online versions that score you. Or do you mean actually sit the exam once without much study and see h...

<t>So Ive just received my GMAT prep books from Amazon (got both Kaplan and Princeton) - Ouch!!!! They are some rather large books. Not that I havent spent a significant portion of the last few years trawling through doorstep like finance books (incl Wilmott and despite the fact that Im not even clo...

<t>Thanks all, imputs are much appreciated. Timing is a real issue for me (am an i-banking analyst and dont know what free time feels like anymore!). Will certainly get my hands on the books that have been mentioned. Do the practice tests come within these - or are their websites you go to for them?...

<t>Hi AllWould really appreciate some advice. I know this has been somewhat covered in a number of previous threads but would like to get a clearer understanding of options "all under one roof" so to speak.Im planning on sitting the GMAT in the next couple of months. Short of paying £1,000-£2,000 fo...

<t>"The Irish diaspora has topped a world-wide poll to establish which representatives of a former British colony are best at hijacking BBC Internet surveys...........Canvassers for A Nation Once Again encouraged voters to register "800 years of oppression" as the reason they were nominating the son...

I Love this! when the BBC did a poll to find the worlds top songs the voting link went around around enough Irish people to make the number one song The WolfTones "A Nation Once Again" null"The song was written in the 1840s as a call for Irish independence."

<t>This is useful info. Ive been somewhat reluctant to post many MBA qustions given most peoples focus on MScs/MFEs/PhDs but while you're on the topic.....I can read off all the average age data from websites and business week but what really is the optimum age. Im a bit unsure of timing of an MBA a...
