You are a jackass if you think that. I make copies? Yes only when the secretaries aren't around, but guess what so does our managing director.
I don't determine any policies and never say I do, but you know what? I get to be team leader when I create pitchbooks. It's me running quant numbers through DBC modelling to see how much debt is in the money and how much money a city would save. It's me doing research. It's me sitting
I don't pretend there aren't those higher than me. The structure is Analyst, Associate, VP, Senior VP, and then MD. I am an analyst. There is support staff below me. We have secretaries and people who handle production. We have interns who take notes on conference calls. For me to get paid at such a high rate would mean I'd have to be doing something that someone else couldn't. For me to get this job, my firm recruited at 14 schools. In my school alone 30 people were interviewed for the first round. By the third round I and only one other girl got an offer. There are others that can do my job, and guess what? They have the same job.
The people I meet, I meet. I shake their hands. You see them at a distance.
Now let's talk about you. You went to Syracuse and majored in Economics. Problem number one is Syracuse. Problem number 2 is you don't understand Economics. Now tell us about your work experience. We should talk about you now. It's only fair. You have an inferiority complex. Most people just shut up but you keep talking so why don't you talk and tell us about your experience and credentials.

And once again, as I said before, you have a great job, and that's neat what you do. But I know what you are - you're an entry level analyst. You listen in on conference calls but you're not making decisions. You're doing research and making copies for someone else who is much much much higher up than you. It's great experience, but maybe you shouldn't act so superior to others until you're actually an important person there. Until Phil Angelides says, "I can't make this decision without consulting Rudey first" you are not that great. There are other people out there who could do your job just as well.
I couldn't give a rats ass about you being escorted to a Kerry rally or that people in your firm are top contributors to his campaign. Do you think that makes you special? Great, I work in DC and there are goverment officials in my firm ALL THE TIME. No seriously. ALL THE TIME. They just walk around. I'm not kidding. We have several HUGE defense contracts in Iraq and Powell personally requested our services. He came to our building and I saw him at the Starbucks downstairs. Oh and hey, my friend from school, she does casting for Queer Eye for the Straight guy - so by your thinking, not only am i superior through my firms extensive contact with important people in the government, but I am also incredibly hip and could probably have an extremely successful career in show business. Stop trying to act like the people you come into contact with make you a better or more important person.
Come back and brag to us when YOU are a top contributor to ANYTHING but your own superiority complex.
