In Reply To: I SPOKE WITH A LADY (CLAIRE L.) IN THE RECRUITING OFFICE WHO WAS REFERRED TO ME AS THE APPROPRIATE PERSON TO COMMENT ON A BUSINESS SCHOOL. ALSO I JUST SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM RECRUITING AT GS IN FRANKFURT, WHERE I INTERVIEWED IN THE PAST. I WANTED TO LET HER KNOW OF MY DECISION TO GO BACK TO BUSINESS SCHOOL. COINCIDENTALLY SHE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM INSEAD, WHERE SHE WENT TO INTERVIEW SOME CANDIDATES SO WE SPOKE ABOUT BUSINESS SCHOOL IN GENERAL AND ABOUT SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, INCLUDING LBS. SHE TOLD ME THAT HER PERSONAL OPINION ON LBS GRADUATES IS THAT THEY ARE OF EXCELLENT CALIBER AND DEFINITELY RECRUITING MATERIAL FOR GS. I WONDER WHY YOUR FRIEND AT RECRUITING IS TELLING A DIFFERENT STORY....ANYWAY THANKS FOR YOUR POSTS. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE INSIDERS' IDEAS AND OPINIONS...BY THE WAY WHAT DO YOU DO AT GS?
Message: Sorry I'm out of the office on a road show, so I have not had time to follow up on this. I don't know why we are getting different answers. I wish they were more consistent. What Claire told you and what my friend told me might be a difference of public statements and private opinions. For obvious reasons, I am not going to state what group I am in. I'll post my opinions, rumors that I hear, or ideas I might have on an anonymous forum, but I will not take this to the workplace, especially on this kind of topic.
