Out of Undergrad: PE or Top IBD?

Lord Vader Takes Silicon Valley
If I didn't know better, I'd say Bloomberg's Stephanie Ruhle doesn't like Lloyd Blankfein.

Blankfein: Killing It Is the New Killing It
I'm betting it was a banner weekend in the Blankfein household. On Friday the Goldman Sachs CEO was awarded a $13.3 million stock bonus for 2012 , the biggest bonus he's seen since the crisis started in 2008. His all-in comp for the year looks to eclipse the $21 million mark. It wasn't just a good...

So you decide to leave Goldman Sachs for ethical reasons, but you make a big splash out of it, by resigning to the whole world in the New York Times. You talk about your Ivy League education, the fact that you were picked out of 30,000 people to appear of the firm’s recruiting video, which is...
