VC firms don't hire people without a few "real" jobs and the best learning experience is on the job training, and if you are from northern california what is the big deal in moving home? now if I was 33 and doing it that would be a different story
err, try again!

i think that sums up my reasoning. also, i've never said anything about me working for a hedge fund, running one, etc, unlike some other members and I think even your brother jon. yes, i was excited about possibly working on the google adwords team.... hmmm... good employer for a couple years, learn more about the inside, let arbitrage run itself still... sorry for updating you on the several interviews I had.... jeez what a fool I am. Oh man, moving to Nor Cal... how dumb.... have you ever heard of anyone moving near the industry they want to get in (VC)??
I'll offer $500 to the first person who produces the name of the potential buyer, even you Jon...
but i mean... come on... $16mm for a forum with 3k members?? $5300/member?
i stay around here becuase a lot of the people are cool... i help a lot of them via PMs and talk to a lot of people through AIM and have made some good friends... yes, i used to look up to you... but with insane posts like these, i'm not sure what you're thinking.
