<p>I hadn’t seen these two statements previously and couldn’t resist:</p>
<p>

<p>How did I mess everything up gravely? Especially, considering that you appear to be aspiring to (but have not yet gotten) the position I have attained. And, I didn’t even have to suffer through Wharton to get it. </p>

<p>Are you kidding me? Good luck getting anything with this level of humility. This statement is ridiculously obnoxious even if you are already working at Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley. However, in this economy and when you haven’t even shown you’re good enough yet to get an offer at GS or DB, it is completely unjustified. This type of approach, in addition to continued declines in the economy, is going to be your biggest obstacle in getting a job. </p>
<p>Do you think all those at Deutsche Bank who have made hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars over the last several years are sorry and pathetic too?</p>
