Comments:
Admittedly, I moved to NY at the wrong time, summer, then 9/11, so no work. They trained me to take a specific "graphics" test (everything is done in Excel) at a financial services firm which I passed but was then told to take a WP test (I'd never been a WP before) which I failed but was kept on to be trained by the fin services firm itself. Other than the training, the firm people completely ignored me and were about to lay people, which Wall Street knew and told me to keep showing up until they noticed and told me to go home. So they tried.
However, the cause of my horrible experience with Wall Street is the nagging! It would be similar to a relationship with my mother if in fact my mother ever actually nagged me. I can't say enough about how unprofessional they are and how every interaction reeks of either desperation or maternal (this is for your own good, we only want the best for you, etc.) nagging.
