I'm not trying to sound like a jerk here but I am a sell-side trader in boston and most of us think that the buy-side guys are rich dopes from Harvard that sit in their offices talking about where to vacation. I would think the hedge fund guys feel the same way. On the other hand though, I would love to sit in my office and talk about where to vacation while making a ton of dough - and if I was, I'd be calling the sell side guys arrogant pricks. Just sayin. Also, I have trouble believing that most of the people here have real jobs so for the record I used to check this board in college and since the sell side is so damn slow now it sucks we have idle time to go and bull$#@! here. |

of course most of the buysiders in Boston are going to be from Harvard. Plus, it's Boston. We all know what Boston is like.......
It's a whole different scene in New York or anyplace but Boston. While there are some rich dopes everywhere, outside of Boston, most people have put in a lot of years working their ways up through banks, insurance companies and other shops and not resting on academic laurels and/or connections. Hell, in NYC, most of the buysiders I know went to NYU at night. You gotta respect someone working as an analyst all day and then going to Greenwhich Village to study half the night.
