Failure Cannot Be Considered an Option
By BankersBall on Oct 6, 2006 in Emails & Diversions, Famous Bankers
Making the rounds at i-banks is an email containing the resume and what looks to be a self-commissioned video interview of Aleksey Vayner, Yale senior, model, dancer, tennis player and perhaps future investment banker.
What can we say? The guy’s got Bballes! My only question is what is the secret link between ballroom dancing and finance?
(Thanks to MS for the fwd)
Update as of 5:50pm: The video is apparently no longer available on his website. IvyGate (what’s up with these Ivy League school sites?) has a link to the video, which they posted on YouTube. Looks like Vayner didn’t act quickly enough. Poor guy.
Word to the wise: anonymity is valuable.

He’s great! What’s wrong with the bashers?! He’s obviously smart, energetic and knows what he wants; A poster-child for I-bankers. So what’s the problem?
