There's an old joke that a new MD at Goldman is looking to hire 5 new analysts for his department. The new MD goes to his old boss and asks, "What should I do? I have 10 resumes from 10 great candidates, who all went to Ivy League school, graduated with perfect GPAs and all interviewed very well. How do I decide who to hire?" The old boss asks to see the pile of resumes, and gives them a quick glance. He then shuffles the pile of resumes, throws the top five in the garbage, and hands the new MD the remaining five and says, "Hire these five." The new MD is shocked - he exclaims, "Is this how Goldman Sachs does is hiring?! It's so capricious!" The old boss responds, "It isn't capricious. Goldman Sachs doesn't hire unlucky people - and all the resumes I threw out belong to unlucky people."
