[quote=Anonymous]One thing that hasn't yet talked about is the requirement for a continued "cadence" of being perceived elite if you are coming to finance from Wharton or Harvard. At the fund I work at, we had an analyst candidate from Oppenheimer (and Harvard before that). There was explicit questions about what the underlying "problem" must have been for him to end up at Oppenheimer (vs someplace like GS). If he had come from some other undergrad origin, depending on the precise location, we would have paradoxically given him credit for having the hustle to break in. Ultimately, it was less brain damage to look for more conventional patterns of career trajectory and we passed. Bottom line: when you get on the A-train, better stay on it (if you want to be on the buyside).[/quote]
