A guy who did what was "right" and studied hard and did all the right things.
But then, like me and many other finance/accounting/economics majors, he realized just how corrupted the financial services industry had become. He realized it didn't matter how much he studied, how smart he was, or how creative he was, he didn't know the "right" people. He wasn't related to the "right" persons. And he plain just refused to kiss some middle aged, gray haired %$#^'s ass.
So what does he do?
I'll tell you and you'll laugh, but it is a good sign.
He does the only thing a guy like that can do. Strike out on his own. And not just strike out on his own, but in a uniquely different way. A way that shows he's not the average, cookie cutter "Ivy League graduate" moron that parrots what the bulge bracket wants.
He starts a blog. Starts a company. He writes finance haiku and China limericks.
I know that isn't a GRE score of 1,000, but it's a sign employers might want to consider when they're looking for ...
"bold leadership"
"decisive action"
and "outside the box thinking"
as they force people like him to suffer an inane interview with a 24 year old HR ditz that doesn't know what the ef the "CAP-M model" is.
Oh, you go ahead and mock him for not being a team player, but the only thing keeping him from making it in "the real world" is because it's ran by connections, brown-nosing, rent-seeking and networking. Not skills. Not talent. Not kicking butt and taking names. And inevitably an economy cannot survive on "networking."
