Unbelievable. I have an interview with a Wall Street firm next Monday.
Never in a million years did I think they would call me.

I'm a little nervous to be honest.

I fudged my resume a little.

Quick question for you...

What is a "stock"?

5. Don't worry about being ignorant. If you're in the financial sector, it's practically a requirement.
Just bone up on a lot of meaningless management buzzwords and you won't have to worry about what the firm is actually doing.

Good luck!

7. Just ask for one of the Lehman brothers to talk to.
They know about the same as you know about 'stocks,' but you'll get huge boni. Tell them I sent you, and include '004581-A209/32' in your message. They'll get it.
