...The not so profound guide to landing a buy-side job Introduction This guide is a collection of ideas and wisdom sourced from various MBA students at NYU Stern that successfully navigated the buy-side job search process. It is generally geared towards those that are career switchers, not coming from former buy-side roles before the MBA. Though keep in mind that successful candidates typically have a background in some type of financial-related field, albeit not direct equity investing experience. Landing a buy-side job is extremely difficult. This is pretty much common knowledge among MBA candidates, but let’s walk through the reasons why. First, the job is very appealing to those interested in finance – it’s challenging, fulfilling, intellectually stimulating, and potentially very rewarding. You generally don’t have to work quite as many hours as investment bankers or even management consultants, but have the potential to earn more. This results in many, smart and talented candidates looking for buy-side roles, leading to a high supply of labor. On the demand side, investment management is a scalable business, where hiring needs are not directly proportional to assets under management. For example, in order to manage $100 million in stocks, a fund might start out with a PM and two analysts. When the fund hits $300 million, they might add one analyst, and perhaps one more when the fund reaches $500-$700 million. In this example, while AUM went up by five to seven times...

... Technology to communicate INTRO: Since the last decade, cell phone use has gained an incredible amount of popularity throughout society attracting audiences of all ages. Technology has significantly improved from what it used to be cell phones especially. The behavior I choose to be is the new way that students interact with schools. Walking to school every day I noticed that students don’t talk to each other anymore. Even when they are together on a table, walking or even during class, there is no more a face to face interaction. Technology has become the new face to interact with one another. The theory on this observation is the social behavior perspective. This theory explains how people interact with the environment. Even when they are in groups dung lunch most of them are on their cell phones. Student's face to face communication is fading by the frequency of texting, not merely in the sense that they speak is becoming abbreviated but the focus associated with talking is becoming distracted and scarce. BACKGROUND: “From a survey 800 American young people between ages 12 and17 regarding their use of mobile phones . The researchers report that half of the teens were sending 50 or more messages a day , with older teenage girls sending an average of 100 messages daily”. (Chin, Jen, Fan, 2013). Clearly, text messaging on mobile phones is an important element in the lives of many American teenagers, though voice calls remain part of their communication patterns as well...

The most difficult time is the beginning, when company is becoming established in the market. Firms must think of ways to spread information so it will be received by customers willing to buy the product. There are two kinds of commerce transactions, Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B). While the general idea of marketing in both stays the same, the role changes when one needs to act in the frame of B2B. Not all businesses are as easily reachable as ordinary consumer, who walks along the street and sees the advertisements, thus, the approach for reaching other businesses must be shaped differently, adding more emphases on searching inside certain industries and approaching separately. When the company becomes more recognizable with a good reputation among target businesses then getting them to consume the product or service becomes easier. They do not have to spend so much time searching for companies because businesses already have the information they need...

...according to The Guardian is on the 1st of January 2011; a suicide bombing attempt took place outside a Coptic Church in Alexandria. By the 25th of January Egypt finally joined the Arab Spring alongside Tunisia, Yemen and Algeria. The ‘Arab Spring’ was an activist movement by several Middle-Eastern countries in an attempt at freedom from political and religious oppression and authoritarian governments. A major role in political and social affairs, which had been in play over the years, is media. From the traditional forms such as newspapers and radio to the modern day social platforms, it is very clear how influential such resources are and how influential controlling them can get an entity. It can be said that almost all the countries that took part In the Spring had...

Homogeneous Networks Homogeneous means similar, it is easy to administer and protect the homogeneous network configuration in networking. In a homogeneous network configuration, the similar operating environment is used to run the all systems.

Figure (a) Homogeneous Network Heterogeneous Networks Heterogeneous means different, to run different network protocol a Trusted Solaris networks can be used. Different protocols are used to run the same operating environment and with the different security attributes and uses the different NIS (network information service). The following figure shows a typical heterogeneous network and some different protocols. There is a good example of heterogeneous network in networking term, computers with MS windows XP / windows 7 & UNIX, Linux, can communicate to each other by using different network protocols.
