    Default Why Wall Street Is Recruiting Poker Players

    Why Wall Street Is Recruiting Poker Players | MintLife Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice

    "Since the 1980’s, Wall Street has offered some of the most highly coveted jobs in the country. And historically, there have been only three ways to get in: knowing an insider, having a top-flight degree or serious business experience.
    Increasingly, though, Wall Street firms are looking for employees with different qualifications: specifically, poker skills. Unlike connections or degrees (which are seldom predictive of job performance), poker skills demonstrate an authentic ability to think and act intelligently under pressure."

    I am Queens Blvd.
    I've come across numerous Craigslist ads offering jobs in the financial sector and targeting poker players.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    bigred's such an ignorant piece of shit, it's not literally a street made of wall, it's a tiny shopping complex in a small city in southern new zealand:
