- rchaud 4y agoBeing on HN often reminds of the late '00s when I was on a message board called Wall Street Oasis, for undergrads who wanted to go into investing banking or private equity. On that board, it was honestly seen a failure if a person did not get into one of the Big 4 IBs or PE funds. It was like entering a twilight zone, no one could lower themselves into accepting anything less than working at one of 6 companies on the entire earth.
