If all of them are attractive then I might still have hope to switch to the buyside some day
Well, not attractive in a model sense. But most are definitely better than average, you can't deny. Some are average though.
Sigh.BBIBDall around. No hope for the suckers like me outside ofBBIBD, it seems.
There are somePEshops that hire quite a few consultants/non-bankers.
Good god, the guys are HAWTTTTTT. Why am I in consulting (cries)

I think Julien is onWSObecause this was funny and didn't deserveMS.
more like 9:1 m:f ratio
While general attractiveness is definitely a "hidden" screening criteria at many places, don't be entirely fooled by these pictures. Almost everyPEfirm hires professional photographers to take the photos. The photos are then airbrushed, moles are removed, teeth are whitened, etc. However, I don't think I've ever seen a "fat" person inPE. I suspect the focus and drive that enables people to get intoPEtends to keep them fit and healthy as well.

Then you've never met Guy Hands...that man loves to eat.
I Can Has Cheezburger?
OP you just figured that out? For most client-facing roles, banks love to recruit good looking people both men and women given that they are smart and can do the job. It is all about packaging and branding. :P
This makes me glad that I'm hawwt! Means I'm guaranteed mega-fund right?
ALL those photos are airbrushed. My own company profile pic looks hella better and I'm one ugly-ass son of a bitch!
It's just like modeling. Photoshop.
So people who make/have a lot of money can pay to have themselves portrayed in the best possible way in a photo?
Color me shocked.
我不知道这些ppl r more attractive than "normal"? None of those pictures are any different than your standard graduation photo, so apparently you guys would agree that every high school graduate is "attractive" also
Welcome to the world of finance. I'd say the average person inBBIBDor S&T is considerably better looking than the average person for most other industries. Unattractive people are not unheard of and there are a lot of average-looking people, but the distribution is asymmetric and certainly skewed towards better looking people.
Interesting that you happened to post this today, looks like Joseph Rice is stepping down and all the founders are out: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-26/joseph-rice-to-leave-as-clayton-dubilier-rice-chairman.html
Damn, must not have been hot enough.
Rumor on the street is, once he hit 75 he really started letting himself go.
Regards
Utterly unremarkable.
Thank you, Compbanker and Human for the replies.
I honestly hadn't thought of attractiveness as being a even a small factor inPErecruiting. Some world we live in.
They are all from Western European descent. I don't think I have a chance even though I look like a straight enrique iglesias
I don't think you do. + There's an East Asian associate as well.
A lot of females inIBDor PE lose their tight bodies due to the hours and I've found that the few I've hooked up with were bad lays on average. Also, maybe just coincidence but the two worst makeouts I've ever had were withIBD/PEgirls. Just uncoordinated awkwardness. One of which bit me by accident and then ditched the bar out of embarrassment. Be smart - date women in fashion, marketing, etc. High finance girls are a waste of time.
Once you get past associates, the looks department is all downhill.
I have to agree with dating fashion girls. Get them when they are young. College girls from New School, FIT and SVA are hot if you are inNYCarea. Who wants to talk about work after work with banker chicks.
I'm Apollo in comparison to those guys. Yaaay I'm gonna be rich! Thanks OP!
LOL fashion girls are the biggest money grabbing whore out there. Nurses, teachers is where is at
I am well aware of that. I never let them know how much I make and I always split the bill. They can't squeeze a penny out of me even if they wanted to. :P
That theory goes out the window when you look at the next level of seniority.
I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
Karen = smoking hot
I was thinking they look something more along the lines of hideous
i really hope these guys at cdr are onwso, this would be hilarious to stumble on
