JPMorgan?
Morgan Stanley?
Goldman Sachs & Co?
Lehman Brothers?
Salomon Smith Barney?
etc, etc…
How do they like it?? I’m interested in getting an internship with one of these companies, and am looking for some insight on how to go about it
thanks in advance

It can be very hard to make money.
The key is to already know many people with much money to invest.
Cold calling hundreds of people is an almost immpossible way to succeed.
Obviously if you do succeed they pay can be very, very rewarding.
u should apply at JT Marlin
with the firms hes talking about you pretty much have to take the leads that they give you, unless you hang out with quite the high class crowd. Goldman Sachs, for example, has a minimum balance to get an account with them of only $10 million.
In regards to the original pt of the thread willy, you have to apply for them very early and most of them are in new york, with a few in chicago, charlotte and minneapolis, so you have to budget to live there. They only interview at the ivy league schools and the like so arranging them is tricky, but I’m going to be doing the same thing shortly. I can keep you posted when I start the process
JT Marlin > *.brokerage houses
anybody have any contacts with JT Marlin?
lol oh noooes
lollercoaster @ JT Marlin situation
I work at a Hedge fund, if you want an internship and aren’t a douchebag you can foward me your resume
FUCKING LOL. FUCK …
i just lol’d all over the office…
anyways willy, hit me up on aim…
I’m in the same boat except I need a job…
I you go to ub which I think you do, you should go to the career center they can def. help you land and internship
I am not trying to scare anyone but, you seriously have to know some serious investors unless you think you can convince wealthy, complete strangers to invest with you.
I have had friends in this line of work, it is very challenging…
Howie… i sent you an IM on aol…
And, you will find out very quickly, that AOL or any other IM is a big no no, unless completely facetimed/logged, to only certain people also… lol
hence why I don’t have AOL here at work… and hence why it still probably says I’m sleeping lol
Look into Prop tradings firms also. Good luck and move to NYC.
working for an investment bank does not mean that you are going to be a financial advisor.
i know, i would have done it from my UB email, but firefox has been acting up lately… so i just took it to aim, i assumed if u were on nyspeed, you would be on aim and then i could hold a brief conversation with you…
i appreciate it…
btw do you mind PM’ing me ur email address…
then we can talk that way…
thanks
