Maybe we should get John Kennedy Livingston (or whatever his name is) together with this guy and they could circle-jerk each other while talking about how great they are.

Links like this only prove to me that I need to be more shallow.

I call bullshit.

First, I know for a fact that Goldman bonuses are not out yet.

Secondly, no i-bank pays an odd number like $772K. Its typically done in increments of $50K at the VP / Principal level (which is the level this guy is pretending to be).

Perhaps if he received carry payouts if he worked at Goldman PIA he may receive an odd total comp figure, but carry payouts are infrequent (and he specifically said this was 'bonus').

Just some bored third-year analyst having some fun I think.

John Fitzgerald Page. I suspect this guy is just hoping to ride the same wave of infamy.

This has to be fake:

and you'd think i'd be happy, right? WRONG! i mean with so many people out there whose lives are so less meaningful because they only make 60 or 70k a year, how could i not be happy?

sounds fake.
probably used 772k make it sound non-planned.

Both statements are incorrect, although the second is closer to the truth.

1) GS numbers were out last week
2) Although generally in increments of $25k, comp numbers - especially this year because of stock component - can sometimes be odd numbers. Happened to me and others.

Doesn't mean that the guy or the ad (which I cannot access) are real of course.

Wonder what his response rate has been. I'm surprised he didn't demand pictures.

Unfortunately I cannot access craiglist behind my firewall so I'm not sure what to think of the ad itself. It could very well be BS or a hoax - I was just reacting to Eustace's points on GS and comp
