[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone can do one of these jobs.  It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence to understand financial markets and work on PowerPoints.  I once was an intern.  It’s kind of like how there are millions of kids who would do perfectly fine at Princeton.

The ones who don’t have what it takes won’t get offers after the summer.  [/quote]

Not true [/quote]

How is this not true?  Have you ever been an investment banking analyst?  Half of your time is spent waiting for feedback on decks and working on excel models.  It’s not very challenging work.  I met many analysts who disliked the lifestyle but don’t recall meeting anyone who thought it was too intellectually challenging.  It’s just not. [/quote]

I think they meant "not true" that the the connected kids that are not the cream of the crop won't get offers. I'd agree with that, those "kids" will still benefit from their connections and get offers while high achievers get left behind.[/quote]
