Hi there,

I would appreciate any ideas/sources to look for jobs in Wall Street/HedgeFunds.

Myself
- Bachelors in Computer Engineering with minor in Econ, Cmpsci. with Cum Laude
- Had great internships at big companies, got scholarship money, etc but full time job offer was withdrawn courtsey 911.
- Graduated Last May, was unemployed till Decemeber

Between June & Dec. last year, applied for jobs at Starbucks, Best Buy, Wall Mart, Temp. agencies, etc and got rejected everywhere. "Oh, we feel bad giving you a job since you are so qualified" and this bitch at CompUsa started laughing at my face "really, you cant get a job with a resume like yours".

I'm enjoy derivatives as they are my hobby although made a bad option bet during my senior year in college and raked up debt of $8K (Credit card to my bank and bank to broker). Since I was a engineering major, I tght I would start with at least 50K but now I'm working for a company which hasn't paid me for almost 2 months now and I guess they can exploit me since I'm a foreigner. I dont want to go back to home country as I will be probably be killed (I'm a religious minority there).

Also, does anyone knows a good book about Valuation of Companies for M&A purposes?

Any ideas would be highy appreciated.

Thanks,
 
It is not your resume that is the problem. It is your status. I have a few friends who are in the same position as yourself. It's tough, you gotta keep trying.
