Too Big To Fail
Andrew Ross Sorkin’s Too Big To Fail is a fantastic read for anyone with an interest in better understanding what happened to the financial industry and economy in 2008-2009. The book is not intended to vilify Wall Street or the government, and it doesn’t try to explain the complexities of crazy financial instruments like CDS and CDOs. What it does is synthesize thousands of hours...

Too Big To Fail
I finally wrapped up Too Big To Fail. I’ll post a book review next week, but in the meantime I recommend that anyone with even the slightest interest in better understanding what happened to the financial industry and economy in 2008-2009 read this book. It’s thick, but remarkably easy to read. If you don’t know what a collateralized debt obligation or credit default swap is,...

The Online Hub
The job application process for graduating college students is antiquated and inefficient. A majority of interviews and hiring is done through college career services and HR/recruiting departments from various firms. Students submit a copy of their resume and cover letter through email, or whatever online service their college uses, and the HR people at these respective firms get to work...
