An Intern talks about what it was like working for Greg Smith at Goldman Sachs...
EXCERPT:
________________________________
“I worked for GS both as an intern in 06 and as a full time analyst from July 07 to March 09. I was in the NY office until March 08 and then I was in HK for a year. I interacted with Greg mainly during my 06 summer and from 07 to March 08, when I was physically in the NY office. Greg was the Stanford “Equities Captain”, i.e., he was a mentor for the incoming Stanford grads in the Equities department of the Sales & Trading (Securities) division of the firm. I hold him in very high regard - he took care of us junior guys, gave us great pieces of advice, and in general came across as one of the more personable, friendly, and genuine guys on the floor.”
Kiss-and-tell alert. Like that celebrated dope Michael Lewis, who “abandoned” Wall St, but only after getting his share and marrying a GS banker to boot.
sorry to burst some bubbles - seems all the window-lickers at Zero Hedge, Business Insider and elsewhere believe Greg Smith to be some sort of “executive”...
What a laugh. This guy was one out of a few thousand VP’s in charge of nothing special.
Now that he publically threw a tantrum for not getting the job he wanted, he’s all but unhireable on Wall St or anywhere else.
He could join an MSNBC panel show since he meets the lack of credibility requirements.
