Disqualified from a job because of a book I didn’t read

This is what you said:

"A manhole is round because it's the only basic shape that CANNOT fall through the ground at any angle."

get the joke?

Quote from FaderTrader:

Where the hell do you think a manhole cover goes?? You do know what a manhole is, don't you?
 
Quote from optioncoach:

Even dumber is missing the bad joke completely and actually looking for a google link lol.... Did you know gullible is the one search word that does not come up on google?

My mistake: I tend to overlook such trite amusements. Glad you had a laugh, though. Slow day?
 
BEYOND slow.... I already counted the ceiling tiles and changed the colors of my price charts to pink and yellow lol...

was just having some slow day fun ;) Sorry :)

Um Excuse me?

(Bias note: I am an employee here)

Pretty interesting. We're not all old, stodgy, cranky folks (I'm cranky only when i show up here with no coffee.

Internally, we have a lot of technology and shit gets done. Does SAC Capital have a website? No. Citadel? Partially.

I'm surprised they asked you about this book though.. I never got asked that. The only thing they asked me about when interviewing was what are some of the considerations you have to deal with in treasury bond deliveries. I gave him a nice 5 minute explanation that left his poor lil head spinning.

Oh, I think i had to answer one of those stupid 5 year questions too..

Hey I was with Morgan Stanley for a while.

Talk about STUPID.

Here's what they did with online trading, "Hey, if we double the online Commission we will double our Profit" "lets do it"

Brave new world, yeah, lets have a brave new world, ignore the new, and try old ideas.

Inturn Morgan Stanley no longer has an online discount brokerage.
