Bibas, you say: "I do have a job at hand-not IB. I hate working long hours" (quite obvious since you're a part-timer as you were soliciting peeps for CPT help a month or 2 ago).  And given the state you're in, desperate and looking, you wouldn't take an IB job if it came (no denying about it...Don't lie as we've had enough of it here)?  Man, does a black man know how to dance??  Quit taking us all for a ride here son.

BTW, How many times do I have to say that the long hours at the office is for the beginners: Analysts and a portion of the Associates.  Do you even know the I-Banking industry?  Or have you only heard about it?  And who works from the office all the time these days especially when you have access on your black-berry/home PC/any other PC through tockets and what have yous??   Economic Consuting with the World bank, etc are posts which a few peers have at the uni but about consulting on the Street?  They don't hire consultants to be I Bankers or to Trader or to manage portfoilos.  But defn, I've seen IT consultants and mailroom consultants here.  BTW, finish college first as kids like you still haven't seen the real world and keep talking as though they've been working in the industry forever.  And you're talking about portfolios (what type?  FX? Equities? Mutual Funds?).  As per the market jargon: "Bulls and Bears make money, Pigs get slaughtered."
