Answer Me, ‘NYC I-banker’!!!

First off, read these reviews.

If you’re like me, your immediate thought is not about the content of that lonely posting, but about the type person — an NYC banker, I presume — that crafted those reviews.

The reviews are rife with clues:

“Why put yourself through the pain???” — Pain, indeed. Couldn’t have put it better myself, NYC Banker. But is this perhaps an obvious cry for help? Sounds like say he — cause it just has to be a guy — has at least a few years under his belt. Oh, he’s definitely made it over the hump. 26??

“It is old, outdated, non-intuitive and slow” — Angry at his bosses? Maybe got stalled somewhere in the promotion process?

“here is a better choice that is just as (if not more) accepted in the financial world” — Definitely concerned with fitting in, so that rules out 0.01% of the NYC i-banker population. Hmm. Probably concerned with name, so not the type that would settle for a lower-tier firm.

“Even if you’re an RPN addict, the 17bII gives you full optionality over RPN and normal inputs. Aren’t you tired of watching the screen say ‘running’ while you wait for an IRR to calc?” — But aren’t you forgetting about the STATUS that comes when you whip out that 12c? The awe on layman’s faces when you can actually use the damn thing? Anyway, he’s gotta be Asian.

“This is the banking gold standard” — Oh is it, now, NYC I-banker?

Conclusion: 26-year old, Asian male, working for bulge bracket firm, dress tends towards the foppish side.

Anyway, if NYC I-banker is reading this, please contact editor@bankersball.com. We’ll go with the 17b2+, we promise.
