that was a great story.......he sure could hire guys........sometimes 5 at a clip.....he was relentless......you know what he said to me ......he said he knew just what to do with me.....exactly what to do ..................................he did know thank god.........m
im sure when he opens his new shop in ny in07 you all will hear about it .................it will be great....m
How do you make a burger? What would that reveal about a job candidate? I'd always use this test to gauge pattern recognition ability. Solving it in under five minutes is great. Under eight minutes is o.k.
megadork...... you are either related to him or are him. so clever with the ......... you really throw people off!!! the guy is a crook, he took off to Thailand and people lost 1/3 of their money. some people lost big. so get off your soapbox, walter is scum, why else would he decide to become an expat? probably b/c his rep is shit in the US.....
i think the burger question......was an ice breaker.......every yong guy makes them......their is no right or wrong answer.....he just wanted to feel the vibe while it was bieng answered....its classic walter getting to know you ..............walter the politician putting the candidate at ease and on edge ........while doing this he made his decision............he could look at you and just know how sucessful you would be.......but for months after the initial interview keep you guessing about yourself......forcing you to work harder on yourself...........he was toughest on the smartest guys.........channeling them into competion with eachother.....brilliant is the only word to describe him....can you imagine...........garlic.....m
he is not an expat......if you did not have attention deficit disorder and read the whole thread you would know this.......i am sure you were not at wldc........please read and learn......m
Walter or his biggest fan - posting all day all over this thread in an attempt to re-build his name and pre-market some hedge fund he plans to open. Isn't that a hoot? Too bad he didn't think about this before his name was already in the sewer. He can hide behind the LLC all he wants, but everyone knows that he WAS Worldco LLC... that is until things went bad and his office was an empty fishbowl and his big leather chair had been cold for months. He didn't go down with the ship, he was the very first man overboard. All of his money was out, free and clear to be used for new ventures, like this hedge fund he is now pre-recruiting for here. The traders was left holding the bag. The traders should be thankful to the creditors for making favorable settlements, otherwise they would not have gotten back 2/3 of their money. Walter and the rest would never have left their own money at risk to face that situation, only the trader's. Now he seems to think that since you got 2/3 back that means that all is well and good. Sure, it is good that they got 2/3 back, but that does not change the facts of what was done how the money was locked up at risk against all of their debts. Yes, Walter Bruan made a lot of money from Worldco, but in the end he and the rest did not do the right thing by the traders - the guys who made him wealthy. A real hero, a real titan of Wall Street would have called each and ever trader and apologized for the situation. A real king would have taken some personal responsibility instead of hiding behind an entity. A person of character and integrity would have made the relatively small sacrifice, compared to what was gained over the years, of using his own resources to make the traders whole. Instead, in the end, all of the nice words spoken amount to nothing. All of the bonds were broken.
and remember its not the critics that count.........its the man whos in the arena......wounded or winning that the people are with.....and walter is in the arena trying to do good.......yes mistakes have been made ..........but scars build character.........all the great wall st personalities go through it....every single one.........read some very good books slowly on the complete hist of wall st and you will agree with me........and i hope one day it is you who .........get a chance to be in the arena and have the people with you
yeah, I read it all. Nice touch registering, making a few posts, then making 55 more defending Walter, all on this thread. You are not fooling anyone here.......I actually looked at WorldCo when deciding which firm to go to and their cost structure and payout was a joke.....dodged a bullet and saved some money not going there......now go crawl back in your hole....
