Trip to NYC

So last week a couple of friends and I went to NYC to attend a career fair for Financial Engineering students at NYU.
Still, we had some time to enjoy the city. Here are a few pics. I would like to thank PJ and Yann for these great pictures.


On our way to Detroit airport


Time square


Our regular meeting point: Mc Donald's at Time Square opened 24hrs a day (enfin un pays où on n'est pas prisonnier des 35h...)


We mainly used the metro, which is kinda dirty but quite efficient to roam through Manhattan at peak hours

Yiming, Yann and myself


We went to the Metropolitan Museum

We went to a presentation on credit risk at Sofitel Hotel with wine and hors d oeuvre degustation during the afterwards networking session, that was really cool.


In the limo to go to the bar. From right to left: John (commodities trader), Mazen (Supelec and Michigan alumni who has helped us a lot with great pieces of advice), PJ and myself


Let's go clubbing

Siamac j'ai besoin d'un conseil de la part de l'avocat du diable (cad toi tu l'auras compris....). Est-ce que je dois me prostituer l'ame et chercher un boulot dans le consulting/IT finance et gagner plein d'argent, ou... entrer chez google lol ?

En tout cas merci de suivre mon blog, et bravo pour tes photos très inspirées !
Je viens de réaliser que j'ai écrit le commentaire en français, mais du coup j'ai la flemme de recommencer...
