Seeking: Equities Generalist

Having switched jobs four times since I left undergrad I am on just about every FIG head-hunter mailing list known to man. This little gem came across at some point last week:

"MANDARIN speaking Pre-MBA Analyst needed for PE FOF/Secondaries team"

Don't you think they could have been a little more specific? Let me get this straight, you need a 22-26 year old analyst who has experience in the secondary market for qualified purchaser securities? Oh, and they have to speak Chinese? Oh, a specific Chinese dialect? Of course.

Well, at least that HR department really knows what they're looking for, I hope they were light on the other requirements. I suppose this is better than what every other head-hunter e-mail is really headlined with in reality:

"Seeking well educated white ivy league graduate with mediocre golf game and minimal social life (or robust social life but substance dependency) which allows for 100 hour weeks. CFA preferred."

Word,
