SWOT Analysis

S.W.O.T.

Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats

Is the mantra for any business school student.  B school professors do an excellent job pummeling this thought process into their students' heads and probably for good reason. If you're a red blooded capitalist, it is a great method for analyzing just about any life situation. I rely on this mantra whenever dealing with anything that could have a material affect on my professional life.

Getting Schooled


In today's day and age where the best in his or her field DOES take all, it is extremely important to know how to market oneself.  I think these guys are onto something really intelligent and are in general just awesome. Enjoy the free words of wisdom!

The Explanation

Hello All,

Believe it is time to do some explaining. I have spent the last couple months doing what all recent finance grads do if they want to break into Wall Street and eventually become what Micheal Lewis dubbed a BSD (Big Swinging Dick, if my memory serves me correct), I got an entry level analyst job in the finance department of a sector that I wanted to dominate. After doing some looking around and doing some serious grunt work in this position, I noticed that I was not playing to my strengths. Also, the path that I was following in the hopes of garnering a similar level of success like the others who came before me and my peers is crumbling, no; rapidly decaying into irrelevance right before our eyes.

The Beginning, Bask in it!

We are living in interesting times. 


If you enjoy dramatics, hyperbole and other extensions of the the truth as much as any writer does, surely you scoffed at the opening remark for the lack of creativity demonstrated in the word choice. There are a plethora of words and expressions at my disposal that could have been easily utilized to convey a similar, if not almost identical meaning. Yet, I started this project with the a seemingly simple statement about our current situation. 


Please, let that marinade in your mind.


Think. Analyze. Comprehend. 
We are living in interesting times.  


Bask in it!
