    Laid off investment banker, Kaine Alozie, sets up a website to help other laid off investment bankers after months of fruitless searching himself. He is going to offer stuff for free so that he might get some nitwit to sign up for "cost effective" classes on DCF and LBO modeling. This guy who cannot get a job wants to help other people land a gig and he promises to teach you how to do it too. Well ... ... at least bubba gets points for trying to be "entrepreneurial". :D

    The best poor little ex-Wall Street guy article I have read so far. The WSJ does these human interest with an ample dose of financial realism articles well.

    But it ends with a note of caution to all the people out there who believe that pity is in order.

    What is the world going to do with all these former Wall Street guys? :D

    Does anyone feel sorry for Zhou?

    You don't say? :D

    There you go! Getting fired was a good thing. Now all these people can be fulfilled! And it is not just about personal fulfillment. The country that screwed up the global financial system wants to send out volunteers into the world to spread their knowhow.

    Now the rubber meets the road. When an uptick in hiring occurs and the unemployed banksters cannot land interviews or secure jobs, the truth will finally hit home. Poor babies, they just do not get it. If you can contribute to revenues immediately, you have a job no matter what kind of economy it is. The problem is, most of these unemployed poseurs come with nothing attached but an attitude of toxic entitlement.
