Friday’s Headlines: Wall Street Intern How-To

Internships - you need more than one now

New York Magazine is running a sweet crimp sheet for Wall Street interns, covering topics including how to manage your social life, living quarters, wardrobe and manners on the job.

Here are some highlights:

 

 

  • Show up early, leave late.
  • Remember: All interoffice e-mail is monitored.
  • When choosing housing, location over amenities and price wins.
  • Skip invites to the Hamptons.
  • No black suits.
  • Women should avoid all sex appeal when getting dressed in the morning.
  • “If Gordon Gekko wore it, you shouldn't.”
  • Watch the partying – camaraderie is critical, while getting smashed at company events and bragging about interoffice hookups are not.
  • Work harder and faster than everyone else.
