Looking upon your peers, you realize that you landed by far the best gig in your class, perhaps even the east coast. Thanks to the industry knowledge you've built from WSO and your elite university network, you are able to pull some strings to waltz your way into Goldman TMT (NYC), one of the most prestigious groups on the Street. This interest in IB blossomed slowly at first, with you barely knowing what LBO stands for, but soon after a couple weeks of scouring Wall Street Oasis, you've accumulated an amount of knowledge potent enough to unbiasedly tier- rank each bank according to (deal flow * exit opps / number of positions) and correct anyone else's differentiated viewpoints.
