Why Investment Banking? Why London?

I'll try to spare you all of the crap, I've read the books, Monkey Business, Bank, etc. Let's be honest, as it is so eloquently said in the latter, I did not pop "out of the womb with a receding hairline and a holster for my BlackBerry." I must add however that I now have both. I went to college to study finance because I like it and picked IB solely based on its power structure and the potential to make millions at some point in my life. It was the "hot job" when I was in school and I like what I do.

Now on to part deux, London. I am a flag waving American after all. It's pretty simple here, I interned there and loved it. After the summer of 2007 with rumors flying all around about hiring slowdowns and layoffs in the financial sector, the idea of signing a job offer in September, far before I graduated in December (that's 3.5 years by the way), sounded quite nice at the time.

That's all folks, it's really that simple. For those of you who know me, this is not going to be a "I went on vacation to Paris this weekend and it was funnn xoxo" type of blog. It's going to be me creating yet another example of days in the life of an analyst. If you want to know more, just email me!

PS: This video makes me laugh....
