If you really want to learn about Wall Street culture…

March 26, 2014 by EssaySnark 2 Comments

We’ve been wanting to write about this for awhile now and the timing seems pretty much ripe today. We recently received a review copy of the new book Young Money by Kevin Roose.

Culture: Columbia, NYC, and Wall Street

March 25, 2014 by EssaySnark - Discusses Columbia, Harvard Leave a Comment

We got a question from a Brave Supplicant recently asking about Columbia and cut-throat culture and, in fine Snark style, we wrote a lengthy blahg post without ever actually answering the BSer’s question.

A firsthand report on Amsterdam’s Master’s of International Finance

March 26, 2012 by EssaySnark - Discusses U. of Amsterdam, Wharton Leave a Comment

Recently we had a very motivated commenter named give us an extensive firsthand report of his/her experience at the University of Amsterdam and the Master of International Finance.

So you want to be an i-banker?

November 28, 2011 by EssaySnark - Discusses Harvard, Wharton, Stanford GSB Leave a Comment

Last week we were all hearts and gratitude and talking about service. Which is where our passion is. It was Thanksgiving after all, which is about thanks and giving, in case that escaped you.
