work experience - Goldman, Pimco. KKR. LTCM. Lehman

surprise

There are many people with resumes like that, in terms of education. Except for the CPA/FRM/CAIA part. That’s just weird.

However, his work experience is interesting, especially the LTCM part.

the MIT.HBS.LSE triple crown is impressive. i doubt there are ten people in the world with that specific combination.

i heard he was a CFA level one retaker :stuck_out_tongue:

I have a buddy (former boss) who was MIT / HBS. Nice, smart guy. Drinks like a fish, which I love.

Thing is though, the MIT/HBS double, while impressive, is not AS impressive as you’d think considering each school in isolation because these things are very highly correlated. AKA, if you graduate from a target school with a 3.5+ GPA you have a good shot at a position at BB/IB/ER/w/e, which in turn makes you a good candidate for an elite b-school, which in turn makes you a good candidate for a higher level BB/IB/PE/ER/MBB/w/e job.

However, the CFA/CPA/CAIA stuff is impressive. I knew a guy who had MBA/JD/CFA

It’s a fake profile.

  1. No connections

  2. Look at the dates especially with Long Term Capital

  3. CPA is a dead giveaway as being fake

  4. His financial planning firm has no internet presence so it is highly likely to be fake

I’m really not surprised based on some of the stuff I read out here that someone would think this is real. I would say there is a higher probability of ChickenTikka’s stories being real.

Could be real. The dude is Indian.

Well he did his PhD at LSE in 1 year. The shortest I’ve heard is 2 years. And he already had a PhD from Carnegie. So not suspcious at all. :slight_smile:

its real… its a privacy setting to hide connections. or he doesn’t have time/need to be logging into Linkedin and accept connections. Why would his experience at PE/HFs be limited to over 10 years ago?

Ive heard of him before. He was a candidate for the Nobel Price in both Economics and Peace multiple years. His academic research has pulled hundreds of thousands if not millions out of poverty.Anil Kumar will be the first simultaneous Chairman of the ECB and Federal reserve.

The most impressive resume I’ve seen is:

BA, Target School

Rhodes Scholar

PhD. Oxford

Golden Gloves boxing champion.

Navy - SEAL Lieutenant.

Retard, there is no setting on LinkedIn that you can select that if you have actual connections, it will show a zero. You have the option of not letting your 1st connections see who you are connected to, but they can still see your number.

^ dvictr was being sarcastic “retard”.

ok… i do think its fake… but it fooled me.

its fake…the real anil kumar is a snitch for insider trading…

you guys really think there is only one Anil Kumar ? this one is different!

The real Anil Kumar had an impressive resume too…

all the Bollywood superstars are his clients… he charges a 4% admin fee - 30% performance and they pay
