Wall Street Jailbirds

Here's the deal: Summer internships on Wall Street are harder to get than ever right now. Banks are still figuring out their post-financial crisis business model, and that means they're are still trying to figure out how many employees they can really support. For that reason, getting hired after your internship is even harder than ever as well.

The market is closed on Monday, but that doesn't mean you have to take a day off from your love of Wall Street (obviously). With you free time, catch up on the classics or maybe see something new. Either way, there are plenty of awesome movies (from Wall Street to Bonfire of the Vanities) to keep you in the Wall Street mindset.

The dearth of women in high-powered positions in the financial industry is far from secret. For the last two decades, ideas regarding how to increase the number of women in the corner office have bounced around think tanks, business schools, and even the industry itself. The notion that women simply do not have the hard edge necessary to succeed in finance is certainly a thing of the past.

Everyone has to eat, even if they're working insane hours. Wall Streeter's (on top of having to eat) must also entertain clients. So they need to know something about decent food in NYC.

We recently did a report on where some of Wall Street's top hedge fund managers went to college. While there's a belief that in order to get a Wall Street job you need to graduate from an Ivy League with a 3.5 GPA, we learned that a bunch of the most successful hedge funders went to non-Ivy League schools.
